Judge Dredd: Mutants in Mega-City One
by John Wagner, Warren Ellis, and Carlos Ezquerra
MUTIES OUT!
The great Atomic Wars on 2070 created a population of mutants who, due in part to their bizarre (and in most cases grotesque) deformities, have been denied citizenship in Mega-City One. Rejected by the ‘norms’ and forcibly kept away from the city by the Judges, the mutants have had no choice but to live in the vast, radioactive wasteland known as the ‘Cursed Earth’. For years the two factions have harboured a growing resentment for each other which occasionally leads to outbreaks of violence, often with tragic consequences. The only thing stopping an all-out mutant/human war from happening is the Justice Department and law enforcers such as Judge Dredd - norm or not, He is the law!
This collection of stories chronicling mutated mayhem in Mega-City One includes work from John Wagner (Button Man), John Higgins (Watchmen), Duncan Fegredo (Marvel Zombies) and Warren Ellis (Red) amongst others.
THE WRONG SIDE OF THE LAW!
It takes a special kind of cop to police the nightmarish streets of Mega-City One – a violent post-apocalyptic city built on top of North America’s old East Coast. An army of future lawmen, wielding the powers of judge, jury and executioner now keep order in this crime-ridden place. Known as the ‘Judges’, most of these men and women serve as the ultimate law enforcers – beyond reproach and resistant to corruption, they are the best the world has ever seen. But there’s always one or two who succumb to lawless behaviour and with years of intense training and experience to draw upon, these Judges are the most dangerous individuals on the planet!
This collection includes stories about those Judges too corrupt to uphold the law! From Judge Dredd co-creator John Wagner (A History of Violence) and comics superstar Mark Millar (Kick-Ass), featuring the amazing art of Chris Weston (The Filth), Will Simpson (Hellblazer), Steve Yeowell (The Invisibles) and Greg Staples (Bad Planet), amongst others.
THE STREETS OF MEGA-CITY ONE HAVE NEVER BEEN SO FILTHY!
Sex – it’s a big business in the ‘Big Meg’. From state-of-the-art sex-bots to the hugely-popular sex championships, for enough credits citizens can indulge in their wildest, erotic desires.
But some people can’t help themselves and break the law when looking for lust in all the wrong places! Take randy teen Rodney Murchinson for example... so enamoured with his newly purchased sexmek that he is prepared to commit murder for her! Or the unfortunate circumstances of Bella Bagley whose passion for the famous lawman Judge Dredd has driven her crazy! Meanwhile, you won’t believe your eyes when you see Beaker Jones’s mutation!
This collection of lascivious law-breaking tales features work from some of 2000 AD’s greatest talent, including Judge Dredd creators John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra, Alan Grant (Batman), Greg Staples (Sinister Dexter), Ian Gibson (The Ballad of Halo Jones) and Simon Bisley (Lobo) amongst others.
