The Other Side

Burke & Hare

In 1828, two Irishmen named William Burke and William Hare murdered 16 people and disposed of the bodies to Dr Robert Knox at Edinburgh University for dissection, setting in motion a scandal that would rock the world's medical establishment.

"a ghoulish, yet fascinating account of murder, history, medicine and greed." - Forbidden Planet "A shadowy tale of greed and violence." - The List "Well paced, beautifully illustrated and painstakingly researched." - Down the Tubes "Brimming with murder, intrigue, cover-ups, conspiracies, and mystery" - Sci-Fi Pulse A Caliber Comics release.
