A reminder that 2009 was a damned good year for Ripperologist magazine. Take a look at the contents and you've the Arif/Clack piece on Rose Mylett, Simon Wood's Tumblety, Hainsworth piping in on D'Onston, Souden's woefully overlooked 'Suede the Ripper', and many others.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

[Tom_Wescott]

Oh, and Begg's excellent Leather Apron piece. And what a great cover on that issue.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

[Howard Brown]

Tom:

Are you sure Jon Hainsworth wrote an article on D'Onston ?
Don't you mean John Savage ?

[Tom_Wescott]

Hainsworth piping in on D'Onston

Ugh. Wrong Dr. D. I meant Druitt.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

I personally couldn't pick a favourite.

Adams coverworks have become iconic and will undoubtedly feature in books and documentaries on the subject and its appeal in years to come. I know that at least one (featuring an article by yours truly) aready has.

Adams work is pure art in my opinion. I have a few dotted around my study.

Monty
:)

[Tom_Wescott]

That's a fantastic idea, Monty. Adam should make some of these covers available as posters or framed portraits, sans the logo and writing. They are indeed art. And I don't think I could pick a single favorite myself.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

[Donald Souden]

I was always rather partial to the cover for Issue 200.

Don.

[Tom_Wescott]

LOL. From you article in Ripper Notes.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

We went back to the future to bring this one back alive...

Howard,

Thanks. It might interest some that the woman pictured on the cover was three times national collegiate and three times AAU 3-meter diving champion. She might well have gotten her face on a Wheaties box in addition to a Rip cover had not Jimmy Carter pulled the USA out of the 1980 Olympics.

Don.
