Ripperland #1

Dark Horse launches Ripperland with a cover that pulls you straight into a gaslit, gothic London — a commanding figure in a black coat and top hat looms before an enormous clockface, a skull hovering above him, while two elegantly dressed characters stand in the foreground against a skyline of domed architecture. Alessandro Oliveri's linework, richly colored by Francesca Vivaldi, blends Victorian grandeur with something deeply unsettling, all ornate gold filigree and creeping dread. Written by Steve Orlando and John Harris Dunning, this opening chapter promises a darkly stylish thriller set in a world where Jack the Ripper's shadow still stretches very, very long.
