JUDGE DREDD // HARVEY
by John Wagner (w) John McCrea (a) Mike Spicer (c) Annie Parkhouse (l)
Mega-City One, 2139 AD. Home to over 72 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, where unemployment is endemic, boredom universal, and crime is rampant. Tensions rest on a constant knifeedge, and only the zero-tolerance Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Now, Dredd is taking Harvey, a new model of robot Judge, out on a trial run…

SCARLET TRACES // COLD WAR
by Ian Edginton (w) D’Israeli (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
1968. It is several decades since Mars waged war on Earth, and the major nations have access to Martian-derived technology. Britain, however, is still recovering from Martian bombardment in the 1940s, when much of the south of England was destroyed. This was followed by the arrival in the 1950s of two million Venusians, seeking refuge from Martian occupation. Now, the Martians are planning to wipe out the solar system…

CURSED: THE FALL OF DEADWORLD
by Kek-W (w) Dave Kendall (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
The planet that eventually became known as DEADWORLD was once a regular civilisation existing in a dimension parallel to our own. But the end of days is coming: riots, storms, food shortages. Creatures known as the Dark Judges are spreading their contagion, exterminating all life. Judge Fairfax and his ward Jess had been making for the old Chief Judge’s bunker to hide out in, but local militia have grabbed them…
