This collection features stories by writers whose names will be familiar to Dredd fans (Alan Grant, Peter Milligan), one from Mark Millar (‘Kick Ass’) and one from Neil Gaiman. They focus on characters other than Dredd (who appears as a bit player, if at all), with stories devoted to Psi Judge Anderson, Judge Hershey and to citizens of Mega City One.
It was the last of these that I enjoyed the most. Alan Grant turns in two very funny shorts written from the perspective of down on their luck inhabitants of the metropolis. They’re amusing, clever and provide an interestingly different perspective on things. Most importantly, they make sense as prose rather than comic strips. The same isn’t true for the others stories, even the best of them. Gaiman’s creepy and occasionally very funny ‘Judge Hershey: Sweet Justice’ has some great ideas, but would have been better in comic form.
Just as I did when I read stories like this as a kid, I couldn’t help feeling that the main purpose of these stories was to fill a few pages in the annual without the additional expense of having to pay for the artwork as well as the words. It’s certainly interesting to see writers playing around with a different form, but my advice for Dredd fans would be to stick to comics.
