Best of Dredd
Judge Dredd: The Pit (2000 Ad Graphic Novels)Judge Dredd: The Pit (2000 Ad Graphic Novels) by John Wagner
Buy new: £8.67 / Used from: £7.70
Arguably the beginnings of modern, 'grown-up' Dredd, or 'Dredd the soap opera.' A series of interlinked stories rather than one straight narrative, linked by their sprawling cast of characters.
Judge Dredd: AmericaJudge Dredd: America by John Wagner
Buy new: £6.89 / Used from: £8.84
Simply masterful. The very pinnacle of Dredd, and the book to give to those people who don't get what the character's all about. Bit of a downer, but no less enjoyable for that.
Judge Dredd: Origins (2000 Ad)Judge Dredd: Origins (2000 Ad) by John Wagner
Buy new: £7.59 / Used from: £10.28
Does what it says on the tin. Lays bare the origins of Dredd and the Judge system, by his creators Wagner and Ezquerra. The main narrative lacks something, but it's still required reading.
Judge Dredd: Brothers of the Blood (2000 Ad)Judge Dredd: Brothers of the Blood (2000 Ad) by John Wagner
Buy new: £10.08 / Used from: £8.19
A series of stories that explore what it means to be one of Dredd's relations, and his own mixed feelings towards the memory of his twisted clone-brother Rico.
Judge Dredd: Total War (Judge Dredd 2000 Ad)Judge Dredd: Total War (Judge Dredd 2000 Ad) by John Wagner
Buy new: £7.74 / Used from: £6.00
Terrorists bring Mega-City One to its knees. Modern Dredd as its best, with art by rising superstar Henry Flint.
Judge Dredd: Satan's IslandJudge Dredd: Satan's Island by John Wagner
Buy new: £6.65 / Used from: £8.07
A rare out-of-city outing for Dredd that reunites him with an old enemy. Superb stuff by Wagner and Kev Walker.
Judge Dredd: Chief Judge's ManJudge Dredd: Chief Judge's Man by John Wagner
Buy new: £6.61 / Used from: £4.47
Dredd faces danger and corruption from within Justice Department itself, and an enemy that just won't lie down and die...
Judge Dredd: The Hunting PartyJudge Dredd: The Hunting Party by John Wagner
A trip into the Cursed Earth for Dredd and co, hutning - of all things - flying sharks.
Judge Dredd Vs. Aliens: IncubusJudge Dredd Vs. Aliens: Incubus by John Wagner
Buy new: £6.87 / Used from: £4.90
Dredd faces down those irrepresible xenomorphs...
Judge Dredd: Art of Kenny Who?Judge Dredd: Art of Kenny Who? by John Wagner
Buy new: £12.58 / Used from: £4.00
As well as the complete saga of struggling cartoonist Kenny Who?, a wonderful collection of all the Dredd stories illustrated in recent years by Cam Kennedy. Brilliant.
JUDGE DREDD: MANDROIDJUDGE DREDD: MANDROID by John Wagner
Buy new: £7.71 / Used from: £5.50
The creation of a monster, as we see in this tragic story told mainly from the viewpoint of Dredd's foe. A two-part tale that loses something in the second half.
Judge Dredd: Complete PJ MaybeJudge Dredd: Complete PJ Maybe by John Wagner
Buy used from: £9.95
Once again, does as it says on the tin. The adventures thus far of Dredd's most charismatic enemy. Superb stuff.
Judge Dredd: MechanismoJudge Dredd: Mechanismo by John Wagner
Buy new: £8.29 / Used from: £7.75
Robot judges hit the streets in the wake of Necropolis and Judgement Day, and Dredd's already got a bad feeling...
Judge Dredd: The Henry Flint CollectionJudge Dredd: The Henry Flint Collection by John Wagner
Buy new: £11.69 / Used from: £6.07
A sadly odd and slightly lacklustre mix of tales, even if the art's as good as you'd expect. Flint has done his best work on the Dredd epics like Total War.
Judge Dredd: Carlos Ezquerra Collection (Judge Dredd)Judge Dredd: Carlos Ezquerra Collection (Judge Dredd) by Garth Ennis; John Wagner; Gordon Rennie
Buy new: £9.29 / Used from: £8.00
A mismatched collection of stories by Dredd's co-creator. Like Flint, Ezquerra has done his best work on the epics. Check out Origins or the Case Files instead.
Judge Dredd: The Complete Heavy Metal DreddJudge Dredd: The Complete Heavy Metal Dredd by John Wagner
Buy new: £7.59 / Used from: £5.50
One to miss. A pretty poor collection on all counts, this is perhaps the worst Dredd's ever been. For hardcore collectors ONLY.
