Judge Dredd: Metal Fatigue

    (Fleetway Quality, 1991)
™ and ©1991 Fleetway Editions, Ltd.

Judge Dredd, the popular hero of Great Britain’s 2000 A.D. magazine, is judge, jury, and executioner in a dystopian future where rampant crime is the order of the day. To combat the forces of evil, Judge Dredd—one of many “judges”—has been given wide-ranging and far-reaching powers to dispense justice in the streets of the sprawling Mega-City One, in order to hit crime where it lives.

But what if the criminals aren’t quite “alive”—at least, not in the traditional sense of the word? This graphic album collects stories in which the man who is the living embodiment of the highest principles of the Justice Department comes into conflict with “robots, droids, hardfellas, tin-gods, metalheads, transistor-sisters”—gears-and-sprockets copies of humanity that even mirror our penchant for criminal behavior. These heavy metal tales are written by the likes of John Wagner and Alan Grant and illustrated by such stalwarts as Carlos Ezquerra, Ron Smith, Brian Bolland, and John Higgins.
