Judge Dredd-Satan's island
« on: 10 August, 2009, 08:27:59 PM »
John Wagner writer

Artdroids Kev Walker,(Sin City), Ben Willsher, (Case for the defence),Paul Marshall (Reprisal), Cam Kennedy (The trial of Orlock).

There appears to be the worlds biggest typo at the beginning of this with the inside cover reading "Judge Dredd Total war" and crediting lots of artists not featured in this collection.Maybe it's a very poorly designed advert.

That aside what's not to like in this ? Dredd brutal as ever, the citizens of MC-1 reveal more about the truly, unpleasant nature of human beings than a dozen preachy liberal tomes when they get to visit a moveable island where everything is legal.

Needless to say the Judges have an alterior motive for allowing "Sin Cty-Satans Island" to dock near the Atlantic Wall. One involving a deadly plague, looney eco terrorists and Orlock, the east meg agent who started the block wars.

Fun all the way with the last panel in Sin City making it worth buying all by itself.

Excellent art throughout.Highly recommended.  8)

Yes, Sin City was a pretty cracking little epic actually. Kev Walker's art was superb and there's just the right mix of bastardy and world-weariness about Dredd.
Making a police officer impotent is an obstruction of his duties.
