The new Judge Dredd collection that sees him square off against his old nemesis, Orlok the Assassin, is out now!
Judge Dredd thought that Orlok – the Sov agent responsible for infecting Mega-City 1’s citizens with Block Mania during the Apocalypse War, and the murder of Judge Giant Snr – was dead. But Orlok appears to be back, and responsible for a shocking wave of murders.
Even more troubling, Orlok is not alone, and is working with La Reine Rouge, a brutal Crimelord who is trying to take over Europe. Can Dredd stop the Red Queen’s sinister plans before its too late?
Writers Arthur Wyatt (Dredd/Anderson: The Deep End) and Rob Williams (Suicide Squad, Judge Dredd: Control), team up with fan favourite artist Jake Lynch (Proteus Vex) to tell an action-packed adventure that will change Dredd’s world – forever!

JUDGE DREDD // Succession, part two
Mega-City One, 2145 AD. Home to over 200 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. Crime is rampant, and only future cops the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Now, a reshuffle at the top of Curare Corp has become a violent free-for-all…
Script: Dan Abnett / Art: Mark Harrison / Letters: Simon Bowland
THE OUT // Book Three, part eleven
The furthest edge of the universe, far into the future. Cyd Finlea is photo-journalist working for the publishers Global Neographic, travelling deep into outer space — otherwise known as THE OUT — and cataloguing the alien societies that she encounters. She left Earth ten years ago and has been seeking other ex-pat humans — but now, having learned what the Zoto have done to her, escapes with old pal Cheerio…
Former war-droids, the ABC Warriors were reassigned to bring peace to the frontier planet of Mars. Comprising Hammerstein, Deadlock, Blackblood, Steelhorn, Mongrol and Happy Shrapnel, the Mek-Nifcent Seven’s sharpshooter was Joe Pineapples, a robot with more secrets than most. Now he and sewer-droid Ro-Jaws are at the other end of the universe — Joe n’ Ro, lost in space, out of gas, out of love n’ outta luck!
Script: Kek-W / Art: John Burns / Letters: Jim Campbell
THE ORDER // Heart of Darkness, part six

But time has become fractured, and the despotic Francis Bacon is determined to rule a vast empire. Now, The Order must battle the shadow-creatures at the edge of time itself…

PROTEUS VEX // Crawlspace, part eleven
The far future. The centuries-long war between the Alliance and the Obdurate people is over, a conflict brought to an end with the deaths of billions when the Alliance teleported a dying white dwarf star into the Obdurate system. Imperium agent PROTEUS VEX — who is operated by a flesh-pilot — became an enemy of the Alliance when he released info about past war crimes. But now war with the Scorchers has broken out…

Now the winner of the prestigious Eisner Award for ‘Best Comics-Related Book’, I Am The Law is the critially-acclaimed book that examines how Judge Dredd predicted our future!
Judge, jury and executioner, Judge Dredd is the brutal comic book cop policing the chaotic future urban jungle of Mega-City One, created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra and launching in the pages of 2000 AD in 1977.
But what began as a sci-fi action comic quickly evolved into a searing satire on hardline, militarised policing and ‘law and order’ politics, its endless inventiveness and ironic humour acting as a prophetic warning about our world today – and with important lessons for our future.
Blending comic book history with contemporary radical theories on policing, I Am The Law by writer and comics critic Michael Molcher takes key Dredd stories from the last 45 years and demonstrates how they provide a unique wake up call about our gradual, and not so gradual, slide towards authoritarian policing.
From the politicisation of policing to ‘zero tolerance’, from violent suppression of protest to the rise of the surveillance state, I Am The Law examines how a comic book warned us about the chilling endgame of today’s ‘law and order’ politics.
Praise for I Am The Law:
Winner of ‘Best Comics-Related Book’, Eisner Awards 2024
Winner of ‘Best Book on Comics’, Broken Frontier Awards 2023
“thorough and intelligent” — John Wagner, co-creator of Judge Dredd
“The product of intricate research and clear vision … a serious work for serious times …an essential read for art historians and actual historians alike.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — SFX
“I cannot recall a more timely book … not just a celebration of a future fictional character: it is a thoughtful, and often alarming examination of the state of law enforcement in a liberal, or neo-liberal, society” — Nick Lezard, The Spectator
“With I Am The Law, [Molcher] has achieved a rare thing, and written a book that deals with a complex and often controversial subject in a nuanced and highly readable way” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Fortean Times
“the in-depth analysis the strip has long deserved” — Garth Ennis, writer of The Boys, Preacher and Judge Dredd
“Stunning … An absolutely phenomenal piece of comics scholarship” — El Sandifer, author and critic
“Radical, daring, hyper-intelligent and utterly vital” — Ian Dunt, author of How To Be A Liberal
“an absolute ripper of a book, equally deft with Judge Dredd comics, Giorgio Agamben and Dardot & Laval” — Spencer Ackerman, author Reign of Terror
“A terrifying vision of the future as present. Molcher shows us in graphic detail how the politics of “law and order,” rooted in never ending fear and ever increasing police power, is leading us towards the dystopian hellscape that is Mega-City One.” — Alex S. Vitale, author of The End of Policing
“May be one of the most important books about science fiction published this decade” — Hugo Book Club Blog
“Excellent work of pop culture scholarship & sociology as well” — Matt Zoller Seitz, film and television critic
