In their latest adventure, Billy and crew confront their most vicious challenge yet: Jack the Ripper!

As the group applies themselves to the case, Sproule looks for information at every bar in the city, while Billy tags along to drink whisky and flirt with prostitutes at each one-which might be a better way to find the Ripper than he realizes. o Includes Goon backups by Eric Powell!
