Black Dahlia (2nd Edition)

Rick Geary

2018
nidottu
On January 15, 1947, a woman walking with her daughter in a Los Angeles neighborhood passed what looked to be a discarded mannequin. It turned out to be the body of Elizabeth Short: posed, drained of blood, meticulously scrubbed, and cut in two. From this point, Geary reconstitutes and reveals for us the life of this 22-year-old woman who had become known as 'Black Dahlia' because of her striking appearance. How could her life have ended in such a ghastly fashion? Was it a jealous boyfriend, a rejected suitor, or one of LA's notorious mafia members, with whom she had been connected? The case gets more complex when, days later, a local newspaper receives a cut-out letter from an anonymous 'Black Dahlia Avenger' admitting to the crime.

Just after the First World War, the party atmosphere returns to the Big Easy, but someone looks to spoil it. Grocers are being murdered in the dead of night by someone grabbing their axe and hacking them to bits in their own cushy beds. The pattern for each murder is the same: a piece of the door is removed for entry; the axe is borrowed on the property; and the assailant aims straight for the head. Why? How could he fit through that piece in the door? Though the culprit is never revealed, speculations abound, which Geary presents here with his usual gusto.

Jack Uppskäraren [Jack the Ripper]

Jack Uppskäraren [Jack the Ripper]

Rick Geary

Epix
2001
nidottu
Jack Uppskäraren är en av historiens mest legendomspunna brottslingar. Än i dag, mer än hundra år efter de makabra mord som gav honom hans namn, skrivs det böcker och görs filmer om honom. Och det tecknas även serier om honom. På 1990-talet gjordes två konstnärligt tungviktiga serieversionen av Rippermyten. Den ena var Alan Moores och Eddie Campbells omfångsrika och visionära From Hell (1991-98), som blivit film med bl.a. Johnny Depp och Christina Ricci. Den andra var Rick Gearys Jack the Ripper (1995) som angriper samma ämne på ett fullständigt annorlunda sätt.Geary hade redan under 80-talet mutat in viktorianska mordfall som ett av sina specialområden. Två av dessa mordgåtor publiceras här tillsammans med Jack Uppskäraren: Dr E.W. Pritchards brott, och Den avsyvärda Mrs. Pearcey. Dessa tre serier är inte bara ovanligt fascinerande berättelser om ond, bråd död, om brott och brottslingar. Tillsammans ger de också – som alla bra deckare ska göra – ett skarpt proträtt av sitt samhälle, i detta fall av det viktorianska samhället. Rick Geary är kanske den ende serieskapare som kan skildra ett helt samhälle genom att enbart avbilda TV-apparater i olika tomma rum, vilket han gjorde i boken Television (1978). Särpräglad är bara förnamnet.
