![]() This volume contains a nice overview of strips dating back to his first appearance in 1977 - there a few samples of longer tales that are left hanging, fully reprinted in other volumes to seek out if you're so inclined - but plenty of powerful and entertaining complete stories, as well.įor a newcomer or casual fan, this is a great mix of classic and modern material that serves as a nice day trip to Mega-City One. ![]() Judge Dredd is one of comics' most unique characters, able to be either protagonist or antagonist, depending on the nature of the story - he's either a jackbooted thug serving a pseudo-fascist post-apocalyptic regime, or he's the no-nonsense, hard-nosed straight man of justice holding together what's left of law and order in a deranged, ultraviolent future.Īnd in the best Dredd tales, he's a complex mix of both.įew comic heroes invite an internal debate of a reader's personal moral and philosophical stances the way Dredd does, mostly served with a deep vein of pitch black humor and satire to keep it from taking itself too seriously. ![]()
