Judge Dredd has a reputation as being a prescient comic book but the new chapter in the best-selling Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files series hits home with a deadly virus leading to a quarantined community - but this is no natural epidemic. This is a weapon.
Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files Vol.35 is out in print and digital on 14 May.
It reprints the entirety of one of the forgotten classics from modern Dredd - Sin City by John Wagner (A History of Violence) and Kev Walker (Black Panther) - a tale of a deadly virus, a city under quarantine, and a blood-thirsty quest for vengeance that will claim thousands of lives.
The floating multi-story metropolis of illegal delights known as 'Sin City' has anchored outside Mega-City One, and Dredd has seemingly been sent aboard to keep what order can be kept on this lawless pleasure city.
His real task? Locate Ula Danser, the De-Megification terrorist determined to destroy the Mega-Cities at any cost! And they're not working alone either – Dredd’s old enemy Orlok the Assassin is en route to meet her, and he’s carrying a cargo intended to pay back everything Dredd did to East-Meg One in the Apocalypse War – with interest!
The latest 304-page volume in the smash-hit, best-selling graphic novel series contains numerous stories plucked from the archive and features work by some of 2000 AD's very best including Cam Kennedy (Batman), John Higgins (Watchmen), Ian Gibson (Halo Jones) Carlos Ezquerra (Judge Dredd), Robbie Morrison (Drowntown), Alan Grant (Batman) and Gordon Rennie (Absalom).
With half a million copies sold, the thirty-fifth volume of the flagship Complete Case Files series continues to collect the cases of the future's greatest lawman, in order, from his first story in 1977.
