JUDGE DREDD // Half Smart

Mega-City One, 2144 AD. Home to over 180 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, with the irradiated Cursed Earth to the west, and the toxic Black Atlantic to the east. Unemployment is endemic, crime is rampant, and only the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law!

CHIMPSKY’S LAW // A Terrifically Disturbing Adventure, Part one

ENEMY EARTH // Book One, part one

Perhaps mankind should’ve expected it, given the destruction humanity has wrought upon the planet Earth.

Anything is possible in these twisted trips into the galaxy’s dark side. Abandon your preconceptions, and expect the unexpected…


Script: Rob Williams / Art: Simon Fraser / Letters: Simon Bowland

HERSHEY // The Cold In The Bones: Book One, part one

Judge Barbara Hershey was one of Justice Department’s most respected and capable young officers before she became Chief Judge.
