"Terror Over London": [Jack the Ripper] (1957) — "JACK, O ESTRIPADOR — O Terror da Cidade" de Gardner F. Fox - Série Terror - Selo de Ouro nº 703 (Edições de Ouro / Ediouro Publicações S. A. / Editora Tecnoprint Ltda.) '-' LONDON - 1888, Fog - wet streets and gaslit lamps, hansom cabs and dense wet nights. A world of proper gentility, of suppressed desires - a world brutally sundered when into it burst the bloody specter of Jack the Ripper. London became a city at siege, paralysed in the grip of terror as the list of the Ripper's victims grew and grew - streetwalkers all of them, murdered and mutilated by a knife wielded with all the skill of a sadistic surgeon. A sadistic surgeon - perhaps even one like Sir Stanley Hawkins, the brilliant young society physician who made many night calls with a particularly wicked sword cane in his hand. Sir Stanley Hawkins a man possesed by a devil of a woman who awoke the wanton animal - and the ogre - within him. Here is a new, overpowering, ingenious theory of the man who might have been Jack the Ripper, a man whose loves and hates drove him downward to that most final of all deeds - murder, most horrible. . .
