Synopsis for "Jack the Ripper"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Astonishing #18
An American hears stories of a new murder attributed to Jack the Ripper, who has been dead for 20 years, and figures the English are perpetuating a hoax and goes to England to prove that he is really dead. Although the local police try to dissuade him, he locates the cemetery where Jack the Ripper is buried. The caretaker directs him to the grave, but will not accompany him, claiming it is haunted. The man locates the grave, but the Ripper's ghost rises and kills him. The papers report the story, and another American resolves to make the trip to England, beginning the cycle all over again.
