A ROAD TRIP THROUGH HELL! Mega-City One, 2100. A deadly plague developed during the brutal 'Great Germ War' has reached the futuristic metropolis of Mega-City Two, located on the West Coast of the USA. Charged with delivering a life-saving vaccine to the citizens of the disease-ridden city, Judge Dredd and a small crew of Judges, war droids and the lawbreaking biker, Spikes Harvey Rotten, must travel a thousand miles across the radioactive wasteland known as 'the Cursed Earth.' It is a near-impossible journey hate-filled mutants, rampaging monsters and crazed war robots populate the hellish stretch of terrain. Many men have attempted to cross it and most have failed. But Judge Dredd is the best there is!

As a die hard dredd fan i'm always keen on a new release even one thats been released a few times...the cursed earth is one of the classic sagas that ran in 2000ad along with the likes of "judge child","the day the law died" and the apocalypse war ...repackaged in a smaller manga size format presumably to draw people from weird japanese stuff to some home grown greatness,me, i got it so i had a grat read in an easy to carry format...
unfortunately, it doesnt seem to translate well to this size as it is too small the text is tiny which can be a problem to the older generation who dont want to admit they might need glasses (ahem!) but the art as well loses a lot of it's impact ,comparing the first episode to the one printed in "the best of judge dredd" you notice it is at least half the size!
personally i would have thought some of the older daily star strips or the more recent "metro" ones would have been more able to cope with the smaller size the metro ones in particular as the art is more "modern" and the artists had a "mangaesque" quality to them and the six pnel format would have fit on the page better without giving me eyestrain ...

I read these the first time around (must be about 35 years ago!) and wanted to read them again on on a handheld device. I had tried the odd scanned download but was left disapointed. I saw this kindle version and decided to give it a try. I have got a kindle paperwhite and the kindle app on an ipad (gen 1). The kindle method of letting you double tap to zoom in on a panel and then swipe to move to the next panel works very well and feels very natural. However the kindle paperwhite is much too small to be able to read a lot of the text and I think amazon should make it clear that these comic formats are not suitable for a kindle paperwhite. I then tried the comic on my ipad kindle and it was great, I had no problems reading the text and it was a great reading experience.
In summary, do not try and read this on a kindle tpaperwhite as the accessibility is poor, but it works well on an Ipad kindle app. I haven't got a kindle fire so I cannot comment on that experience.
It also looks like there is a bug in the kindle paperwhite reader as the panels on the first page appear as small black rectangles when you zoom in on them.

I read jugde dredd cursed earth saga when it first came out in the comics as a boy, still have them somewhere. So I thought I would buy it in graphic novel form to read but when it arrived to found the book to be smaller than antisipated,also the quality of the paper is rough not glossy finish wich was disappointing

Great value but....
...terrible waste of space on the page, and unusual method to navigate - honestly, a pirate PDF using one of the many good CBZ readers makes for easier reading. Read more

Could do with the colour back
A nostalgia purchase, but I am sure I remember some colour in the original 2000AD version. It maybe my memory but I feel somethings missing.
