You do look scared-like, too, just as if you'd seen a ghost." "I've seen worse! I've seen the devil!" Following a series of documented accounts of appearances at Aldershot, Colchester and Lincoln, in the 1870s Spring-Heeled Jack returned to the focus of the public's attention as a folk hero and was reimagined in this 48-part serial story. The shadowy figure of Spring-Heeled Jack protects two vulnerable women and protects the interests of Ralph Ashton against the misdeeds of his iniquitous relative Sir Roland Ashton and a cast of villainous characters who spread their treachery across 18th century London and beyond. First published in 1886, this edition includes illustrations from the original publications and a new introduction by J.S. Mackley.

In 1838, the name of Spring-Heeled Jack struck terror into the hearts of the inhabitants of the villages around London as he perpetrated violent attacks against women. While the terror subsided in the ensuing months, the interest of Jack as an urban legend never waned. In 1863, the first serial was published in 40 "Penny Dreadful" issues, showing Jack not as a violent assailant, but an avenger who protected the vulnerable and punished the wicked, as well as having a few "pranks" along the way. Most of the collections of this rare serial novel are incomplete, however, the missing issues have been located and included for this volume, which also features a new introduction by J.S Mackley.

This is a book telling the true stories of three different "Jacks", The Spring-Heeled Jack, Jack the Ripper, and Pelorus Jack.The Spring-Heeled Jack was a fantastic character whose antics inspired many a "penny dreadful" novel. Never caught nor identified, his actions even today sound almost impossible.Jack the Ripper terrorized London for three months in 1888; a true to life monster whose savagery is still talked about today, then disappeared into thin air.Pelorus Jack wasn't a human at all - he was a dolphin who guided ships through the dangerous French Pass off of New Zealand. So admired by the people of that country that they protected him by law.

This work dissects the origin and growth of superhero comic books, their major influences, and the creators behind them. It demonstrates how Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain America and many more stand as time capsules of their eras, rising and falling with societal changes, and reflecting an amalgam of influences. The book covers in detail the iconic superhero comic book creators and their unique contributions in their quest for realism, including Julius Schwartz and the science-fiction origins of superheroes; the collaborative design of the Marvel Universe by Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, and Steve Ditko; Jim Starlin’s incorporation of the death of superheroes in comic books; John Byrne and the revitalization of superheroes in the modern age; and Alan Moore’s deconstruction of superheroes.
