But all the Ripper tales do that - from the one with Malcolm McDowell Time After Time, to Jack, onwards. To the extent that the story has become almost as cliche as the boogeyman or Dracula. Overtold. To the extent that the true story has become buried underneath the legends.
Was sort of disappointed to see them do it here. They tried to do a new twist on it - but I don't think it worked. Loved the artwork though. The story itself? Forgettable. Shame considering how good the artist was. Brett Facher's stories didn't impress me that much - found them oddly forgettable. Goddard, Edlund and Espenson were the best.
Can't comment on the Third Reich tale - since haven't read it. (Was that Tales of the Slayers?)
