Judge Dredd Year Two: Down and Out

Judge Dredd The Early Years #5

by Matt Smith

ONE BAD DAY...
Mega-City One, 2081, Joe Dredd’s second year on the streets as a full-eagle Judge. He’s got the experience, he’s done the sked-time,
but no Judge is infallible – all it takes is one bad day, and all those years of training can disappear in the simple pulling of a trigger.
A routine arrest, an ambush, an explosion. The perp’s down, but Dredd is bleeding and burned, his Lawmaster is destroyed, and he’s in a bad part of town with no backup. For the first time in his career, he’s truly alone...

Reviews

[Martin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Classic Dredd. If you're new to 2000AD and want to understand the legend, you can't go wrong starting here.

I grew up with 2000 AD and 40 years on it's still the Galaxies greatest comic. The best of British SF

[Richard Hakes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Maybe not the greatest of the Jo books but another day in the life of Dredd in never going to be boring.

[Phil · Rating 5 out of 5]

this series gets better and better, looking at the early years of Dredd (his second year as a full eagle) and going more in depth to his character than is sometimes possible in 2000AD or the Meg.
