America
Jara and Bennett Beeny grow up as best friends, living a quiet,
trouble-free life in a dangerous city - bar the odd encounter
with a Judge. Time draws them apart, and when they are brought
back together, Beeny is a successful singer... and America
has become involved with a terrorist organisation - with the
Judges in its sights!...
The
Complete America is more a warped love story than it is
a Judge Dredd book. In fact, Mega-City One's chief
lawman only appears in a handful of panels throughout this
story. Of course, there is a freaky twist - this is sent in
a future where individuals spend money to make themselves
more ugly; where sugar is an illegal substance; and where
after death the body of humans are recycled.
Colin
MacNeil's artwork sets just the right tone - part beautiful
painting, part macabre twisted interpretations of grotesque
physical forms - to John Wagner's part love story, part twisted
perversion, part futuristic socio-political message.
There
is also a Democracy Now introduction that charts the
voice of freedom, or lack of, that is afforded Mega-City One's
residents.
For
those that like their sci-fi served with a slice of political
ambiguity, this will hit the spot. Intelligent, thought provoking
and moving drama all wrapped up neatly in the comic art form.
Wonderful.
