The time is the future, and amidst the wasteland that is America there is a single, massive city with 800 million inhabitants, appropriately called Mega City One. He is, as he is fond of stating, the law. The character of Judge Dredd, now entering his 35th year in UK comic 2000AD (they know it’s 2012 – don’t ask), isn’t a complicated one. Written by Dredd co-creator John Wagner ( A History of Violence) and Alan Grant ( Batman), it includes the artwork of Brian Bolland ( Batman: The Killing Joke), Carlos Ezquerra ( Preacher), Colin Wilson ( Blueberry), Ian Gibson ( Halo Jones), Mick McMahon ( The Last American), Ron Smith ( Transformers), and Steve Dillon ( Preacher)! In other words, some of the best creators tp have ever worked on 2000 AD and Judge Dredd.The basic aim of Dredd is simple – it needs to be bold, true to the source material and full of juicy violence, enough to wipe out the memories of the notoriously poor Stallone attempt of 1995 that threw plenty of money at the screen without bothering to work on anything resembling a decent script. This 400-page collection includes classic Judge Dredd stories such as The Mega-Rackets, Judge Death Lives!, Diary of a Mad Citizen, The Hotdog Run, and the all-time great mega-epic Block Mania and The Apocalypse War! Good news such as the free comics AHOY Comics have announced, as have Image Comics, but now we’re hearing that the good script and art droids in servitude to Tharg have been busy uploading 400 pages of classic Judge Dredd comic strips for your reading pleasure. But, we’re here to also deliver good news too. It’s going to be a busy day, methinks, with all the cancellations, closures and what not.
