Review Tuesday: JUDGE DREDD: THE COMPLETE CASE FILES 04

After having recently become reacquainted with the Dredd novels, I decided to go back as far as possible and try to learn the Dredd histories.

JUDGE DREDD: THE COMPLETE CASE FILES 04

is a compilation of the Dredd comics from 2000 AD Progs. Under this cover you have the years 2102 through 2103, Progs 156 - 207.

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 includes: 

• the super-epic THE JUDGE CHILD / the Angel family
• Chopper & Un-American Graffitti
• the first block war
• Captain Skank the Black Atlantic Pirate who turned out to be the puppet the East Meg / SovBlok Judge Nikita Kramm and how Dredd infamously forced them to NUKE THEIR OWN PEOPLE. 

Of course, there are many clever tales in between. It's interesting to watch how Dredd goes from short episodes to longer serials. While the look of Dredd becomes more refined, the character of the man remained consistent. He's smart. He's tough. He's the LAW!

A definite MUST READ! Get to it, citizen!
