"Twin epics in the same book, courtesy of Pat Mills and John Wagner - The Cursed Earth and The Day the Law Died. The point where Dredd and his world are properly defined."
"The Judge Child epic, introducing classic baddies the Angel Gang, marks the start of John Wagner's writing partnership with Alan Grant. Superb art and writing, cover to cover."
"The fallout from the Apocalypse War includes the loss of favourite Dredd artists Bolland and McMahon - but Ron Smith and Carlos Ezquerra step nobly into the breach and produce some cracking stuff."
"No flashy epics, only solid Dredd goodness, like Steve Dillon's Curse of the Werewolf and Ron Smith's The Graveyard Shift. Fan-favourite Dredd artist Cam Kennedy also makes his debut."
"Includes the epic City of the Damned, semi-sequel to The Judge Child Quest. Dredd begins to doubt himself, becoming a fully-rounded character and starting story threads that continue to this day."
"Teenage rebel Marlon 'Chopper' Shakespeare is back, and Chief Judge McGruder bows out (for now). We also meet the Democracy terrorist movement, another storyline with consequences for Dredd's future.."
"Psi-Judge Anderson enjoyed her own spin-off series, running parallel to Dredd. Features the return of both the Dark Judges and embittered Sov agent Orlok, the man responsible for the Apocalypse War..."
"Chopper's finest moment comes courtesy of the epic Oz, wherein Dredd meets the evil Judda. Also debuting in this volume, child psycopath Phillip Janet Maybe..."
"In the aftermath of Oz, the Dredd strip goes full colour for the first time and the Wagner/Grant partnership comes to an end after eight productive years."
"Contains both colour and black-and-white stories. Dredd clone Kraken and the young son of the late Judge Giant hit the streets, as we begin the run-up to Necropolis."
"The first full-colour volume. Judge Death and cohorts return to Mega-City One. Only Dredd can stop them laying waste to the city, but where is he in the Big Meg's hour of need...?"
