About the author

Grant Morrison has been working with DC Comics for twenty five years, after beginning their American comics career with acclaimed runs on ANIMAL MAN and DOOM PATROL. Since then they have written such best-selling series as JLA, BATMAN and New X-Men, as well as such creator-owned works as THE INVISIBLES, SEAGUY, THE FILTH, WE3 and JOE THE BARBARIAN. In addition to expanding the DC Universe through titles ranging from the Eisner Award-winning SEVEN SOLDIERS and ALL-STAR SUPERMAN to the reality-shattering epic of FINAL CRISIS, they have also reinvented the worlds of the Dark Knight Detective in BATMAN AND ROBIN and BATMAN, INCORPORATED and the Man of Steel in The New 52 ACTION COMICS.

In their secret identity, Morrison is a "counterculture" spokesperson, a musician, an award-winning playwright and a chaos magician. They are also the author of the New York Times bestseller Supergods, a groundbreaking psycho-historic mapping of the superhero as a cultural organism. They divide their time between their homes in Los Angeles and Scotland.

Judge Dredd heads to the city of Luxor in Egypt on some cultural exchange mission, things turn sour quickly as they discover there's a mummy on the loose who's feasting on human flesh.

The Chief Judge of Giza becomes the latest victim, when the creature tries to escape Dredd comes across it and fires multiple incendiary rounds into it to no avail and then he's double-crossed by Judge Kamun.

It was a short, but I really enjoyed this and it's left me wanting more Dredd tales.

Great artwork by Dermot Power.
Loved the Egyptian scenes. Filled with the fully painted gore that was a signature of the early 90s progs.
Story is so-so.
Mark Millar - especially in 2000 AD in the 90s - is what he is. So a couple of toilet jokes, no real substance and just a bit of pulpy fun.

Not too bad. Dredd is at his best when in these straigth-forward-no-non-sense-all-action-pieces.
And the art was superb. Dredd looks allmighty powerfull.

Príbeh klasické 80kové akčné sci-fi béčko s dychberúcou kresbou.

Supongo que no arrancaré mi siempre pospuesta maratón de Dredd con este tomo en particular, pero me alegra saber que está esperando esta linda colaboración entre Morrison y Millar de cuando todavía no se odiaban.

Pretty good little pulp story. The Egyptian judges are a fun concept and the art is very good.
