The classics keep on coming...
Rebellion collecting together all of future lawman Dredd's adventures from the beginning has been a stroke of genius, the large volumes a perfect way to while away an afternoon and see how it all started. It's also highlighted how much the approach to the strip has matured since the start, with the first book in particular being fairly simplistic kid-oriented stuff but steadily gaining maturity and sophistication, ensuring that as far as these collections go each new addition is generally better than the last. Volume 8 doesn't include any of the highly regarded "mega-epics", but is still a consistently entertaining collection of shorter tales, including the return of a couple of major enemies(Mean Machine makes a welcome return). Whilst the writing shows constant improvement it's still a little jarring the way the comic used to switch artists mid-story, but Kim Raymond's work aside all the art here is admirable. There's no Carlos Ezquerra, but we get the early work of Ian Gibson, Cam Kennedy and Brett Ewins. All great stuff, but "Preacher" artist Steve Dillon steals the show with "City Of The Damned", also the strongest story included. All in all great stuff and a must for any comic fans with a soft spot for old stoney face.
