Wednesday Worlds of Wonder JUDGE DREDD "He IS the Law" Part 1

What Happens When Americans Take a British Comic Series about Americans...and Reboot It?

You're about to find out!


We Pause the Narrative Until Next Wednesday
Written by Andrew Helfer and illustrated by Michael Avon Oeming, this never-reprinted premiere issue of Judge Dredd (1994) was a continuation of a partnership between DC and England's Fleetway Press which began with a highly-successful one-shot combining Judge Dredd with The Batman against Judge Death and The Scarecrow!
Three more standalone stories with the combative duo followed, along with a Judge Dredd/Lobo one-shot and the comic adaptation of the Judge Dredd movie starring Sylvester Stallone, and two new series about Dredd and Mega-City One; this title, which ran 18 issues, and Judge Dredd: Legends of the Law which ran for 13 issues.
Note: Besides the standalone graphic novels, there was no interaction between the DC Universe and Dredd's reality!
Here's the book's editor, Paul Kupperberg, explaining some of the basics about this reboot and how it differs from the original British series..
