Episode 42. FROM HELL (2001)

The case was never closed. Theories have circulated for decades, but none is definitive. The question lingers on from one century to the next, to the next... Who is lamer: Dru or Dave? We'll let YOU, the listener, be the judge, on this episode of 24 Panels Per Second, in which we explore From Hell in both its graphic novel and cinematic manifestations. Other questions emerge... Whose text offers a more compelling telling of the Jack the Ripper case: Alan Moore/Eddie Campbell's or the Hughes Brothers'? The answer to this one is a little more cut and dry.
