Billed as "Victorian London's Most Notorious Criminal", Charlie Peace was a comic strip that ran in the U.K. comics paper BUSTER from 1964-74. It was a series of three page humor strips which typically revolved around some scheme of his that would backfire (humorously) in the end.
By themselves, they're typical children's comics, lighthearted and entertaining, but the fact that the character was named after a real life murderer makes it a little bit unsettling when you think about it.
