Wednesday Worlds of Wonder JUDGE DREDD "He IS the Law" Conclusion

We Have Already Witnessed...

...assigned three cadets as hands-on trainees, Judge Dredd is about to show them "how it's done"!

Drokk!
To Be Continued in the Near Future!

Written by Andy Helfer and illustrated by Mike Avon Oeming, this never-reprinted premiere issue of DC's Judge Dredd (1994) is not linked to any other print, movie, or game incarnation...except in basic concept!
Nor, despite several standalone Batman/Judge Dredd stories and a Lobo/Judge Dredd tale, is it linked to DCU continuity...even such as it was at that point post-Crisis on Infinite Earths!

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..

Reading Room 3-D COLOR CLASSICS: TIME MACHINE (Conclusion)

We Have Already Seen...

Victorian-era inventor John travels to the future and discovers that, after reaching a pinnacle of scientific development, mankind has deteriorated to two groups of primitives!

Above-ground dwellers are peaceful, but those who lurk below are savage!

The underground humans steal John's time-travel vehicle...and then, one of his new-found friends, a woman named Weena.

Seeking both, the chronic argonaut goes below the surface, where he discovers the hostile cave dwellers, known as "Morlocks", are hyper-sensitive to light.

Finding his machine and the woman, John heads for the surface with her, planning to return for his vehicle...

Note: John says to the Morlocks; "Perhaps one of my distant ancestors will meet you!"

If they're in the future, wouldn't it be one of his descendents?

Adapted by Peter Stone, with layouts by Neal Adams and finishes by Adams, Rodolfo Damaggio, Andres Klasic, and John Nyberg, this adaptation takes considerable liberties with the original novel.

But, to be fair, almost every adaptation, no matter the media, has made changes, usually due to technical (sfx) or space limitations.

Reading Room 3-D COLOR CLASSICS: TIME MACHINE (Part 1)

Here's a never-reprinted graphic version of the HG Wells tale...

...from over 3 decades ago, illustrated by the late, great, Neal Adams and his Continuity Associates studio!

To Be Continued Tomorrow...in Wednesday Worlds of Wonder!

Adapted by scripter Peter Stone, with layouts by Neal Adams and finishes by Adams, Rodolfo Damaggio, Andres Klasic, and John Nyberg, this adaptation takes considerable liberties with the original novel.

But, to be fair, almost every adaptation, no matter the media, has made changes, usually due to technical (sfx) or space limitations.

The book was part of a series of comics given away as part of Wendy's Kid's Meals in 1995!

The books used a full color 3-D process called "ChromaDepth", that used the color spectrum to create a three-dimensional effect with the enclosed glasses, yet left a perfectly-readable (if oddly-colored) comic if the glasses were lost!
