Judge Dredd - Volume 1
Volume 1 includes the initial introductory Dredd stories, the Call-Me-Kenneth robot revolution, Return of Rico, the Luna period, and ends with Dredd returning to MC1 in time for the Cursed saga. Also included are the first unpublished Dredd by Esquerra and a selection of Walter the Wobot one-pagers.
Volume 2 features the excellent Cursed Earth and Judge Caligula epics back to back and ends with the three-parter The DNA Man.
Volume 3 returns to shorter storylines and includes Judge Death, Father Earth, Umpty Candy, The Blood of Satanus. These are all good stories, although this volume is one of the thinner ones, and it must be said that the reproduction isn't very good in parts. The backgrounds some frames are lost completely, and some of the best art in Dredd ends up looking pretty pedestrian. Sticklers may be better off seeking out the superior image quality of the Titan publications.
Volume4 includes the excellent Judge saga, Otto Sump, The Fink, Pirates of the Black Atlantic, and Chopper first appearance.
Volume 5 includes Block Mania and the epic Apocalypse War.
6 follows the conclusion of the Apocalypse War with Meka City, Fungus, and Destiny's Angels, and then it's back to reasonably good shorter storylines with Rabid, Blobs Night of the Rad Beast, the slightly naff Starborn Thing, The Stupid Gun, Trapper Hag, the good Shanty Town, and a real forgotten gem, The Executioner.
Volume 8 includes some multiters but no epics - Cry of the Werewolf, the classic fatty eating saga Requiem for a Heavyweight, The Graveyard Shift, Bob & Carol & Ted & Ringo, The Haunting of Sector House 9, Citizen Snork, and numerous okay single-episode stories. This volume marks a changing of the guard in terms of artists with the introduction of Cam Kennedy and Jim Baikie.
The print reproduction is generally good, but some pages suffer badly, and some really great art is made to look very ordinary, particularly when toner is used.
