When a lethal plague devastates Mega-City Two, leaving the
city overrun with mutants and victims, Judge Dredd volunteers
to deliver the vaccine that will save the last remaining inhabitants.
But first, he and his crew have to get there - 1000 miles
across the Cursed Earth, the lethal radioactive wasteland
which separates the cities. With cannibals, dinosaurs, mutants
and criminals between the Judges and their goal, it's not
going to be a smooth journey...
Judge
Dredd: The Cursed Earth
is yet another beautifully presented graphic novel from Titan
Books. Reprinting one of 2000 AD's classic stories.
It
features some classic Dredd monsters including Satanus
(the offspring of the legendary T-Rex Old One Eye) and General
Blood 'N' Nuts and his robot army.
The
inclusion of Tweak and the history of his race is intriguing
- he was originally captured on another planet by humans.
He has had to pretend to be a dumb animal so that the humans
don't return to his planet and discover that they are mining
precious stones, as part of their food chain.
I
only had one serious problem with this book. With the airports
in the grip of the plague men Justice Department state there
is only one other way to cross the Cursed Earth - by foot.
Surely Dredd could have flown to just outside Mega-City Two
and walked a few miles? Helicopters can take off and land
vertically so it's not like they can claim the Cursed Earth
is too rocky to land on.
The
artwork doesn't disappoint and, having originally read these
stories when the were first published, this graphic novel
is a great choice for the casual reader as well as the die-hard
Dredd fan.
Titan's
best 2000 AD collection so far.
