Product Description
In Mega-City One, a sprawling, violent city of the future, one man is The Law - judge, jury and, when necessary, executioner. That man is hard-bitten future cop, Judge Dredd, cornerstone to the UKs legendary sci-fi comic 2000 AD. Now in paperback, the ultimate Dredd collection featuring the ultimate Dredd villain! Meet Judge Death, a warped ghoul from a parallel Earth where life itself is a crime. An entire world was judged, found guilty and its citizens executed. Now its our turn. Judge Death comes to Mega-City One, and somehow Dredd must kill a creature already dead. And if one of these Dark Judges wasnt enough, get ready to meet Fear, Fire and Mortis!

Wagner. Bolland. Dredd. What else needs to be said about the legendary first appearance of Judge Death and the other Dark Judges in British comic anthology 2000AD? Absolutely nothing. Oh, except BUY THIS NOW!

This happens to be a landmark entry in the Judge Dredd series, often reprinted as a newsagent quick money spinning comic; even here in the "2000AD Hardcover Collector's Editions", half of this black and white graphic novel is dedicated to the late seventies early eighties character of Judge Dredd, known best for his role in "2000 AD" graphic comic series, the biggest selling science-fiction comic in the UK, even though the concept is wholly American (John Wagner built Judge Dredd as an anti-commie future cop) brought to British readers a new character that is the longest surviving individual of the 2000 AD series, no one will even mention the movie of the same name (Dredd took off his helmet, duh!) in a room with fans because YOU WILL BE JUDGED!, here is Mega-City One, we get some of the best Judge Death stories, the classic JUDGE DREDD VS. JUDGE DEATH, including the three other death judges in the second story, this hardback cover collector's book is very large 11" x 9.4", but sadly Judge Death only takes up 50 pages, so the remaining 50 pages are filler 2000 AD comic strips with only Judge Dredd, but we do get more of Brian Bolland's artwork there and stories from John Howard but sadly there is no more Judge Death or John Wagner, but the point is that the original Judge Death series that boosted the character's appeal is right here. You can, by-all-means, probably pick up an actual comic of just the original Judge Death series, for a fraction of the price, but the hardback nature (and it is a lovely hardback) of this book means that this time your Judge Dredd vs Judge Death will keep.
There is a color update of Judge Dredd vs. Judge Death but that is not this collector's version (the original) and instead you should be aiming for Judge Dredd: Necropolis Book One and Book Two (a two part series) or other recent color offerings, but then you are really going about looking for variations of the original theme that you get here, by all means do, but this is the original. On the basis of this book I probably would be weary about launching into getting the Collector's Series, unless I liked whatever 2000AD story and character is covered (I will be moving onto Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth - 2000 AD Collector's Edition next), as they are old graphic novels (1980) and missing modern artwork and elements, none-the-less, the original Dredd vs. Death is right here the way I picked it up and later it fed the dog somehow... anyway this time I get to keep it.
