Review Tuesday: JUDGE DREDD: THE COMPLETE CASE FILES 06


For the final review of 2013 we have my main law man, JUDGE DREDD in another graphic novel. I am up to the years 2104 - 2105, 2000AD Progs 271 - 321.. Here's the 6th collection of Judge Dredd from 2000 AD.

JUDGE DREDD: THE COMPLETE CASE FILES 06
In a post-apocalyptic world, the US is reduced to two of Mega-Cities, containing nearly 500 million citizens each on either coast. To speed up the legal process a policing force of JUDGES enforce the law. One Judge will, on the spot, be Judge, Jury, and if it fits the crime, Executioner. We get to follow the adventures one of the most feared and by-the-book Judges, Joseph Dredd, as he does his job upholding the law.
This edition of the case files shows us 
  • a post Apocalypse War MegaCity, 
  • the rise and fall of Meka-City, 
  • the League of Fatties, 
  • the Fungus Invasion, 
  • the Game Show Show, 
  • the return of the Judge Child / the Angels (possibly the end of Walter the Wobot), 
  • more criminal schemes, 
  • The Executioner, 
  • the Rad-Beast, 
  • the Last Invader, 
  • Shanty Town, 
  • Trapper Hag, 
  • the Prankster, 
  • the Starborn Thing, 
  • the Stupid Gun, 
  • and finally the Condos. 
It seems to me that this year of DREDD was mostly drawn by Carlos Ezquerra, the man who co-invented the lawman with Wagner. His method isn't as clean as Ron Smith or Brian Bolland, but fits well, nonetheless. Judge Joseph Dredd. He's smart. He's tough. He's the LAW! He's so by-the-book that he makes you laugh at times. Great stuff!
