Essential Judge Dredd: America, Volume 1 by Carlos Ezquerra, John Wagner
5.0
It is to my eternal shame that I have only ever read Judge Death, so the discovery of a trilogy of Essential books seemed the prefect jumping-in point.
And boy is it.
"Contextualised with contemporarily thematic stores" (nope, me neither), these are the biggest, most important stories in Dredd's world, and if this book is anything to go by the other two should be great.
Taking in Letter From A Democrat, America and The Devil You Know, this first volume takes us through the uprising of democracy in Mega City One - threatening the rules of the Judges.
The stories could not be more relevant, taking in politics, celebrity and radicalisation.
The artwork is gritty and dark, with some absolutely stunning show pages, with the stories gripping and immersive.
It really is the perfect introduction.
