Judge Dredd: America (2008, Rebellion/2000AD) ****
W: John Wagner A: Colin MacNeil.
A successful singer meets the girl he had loved as a child, only to learn that she is involved with a terrorist organisation.
Thoughtful, hard-hitting account of growing up and apart is succesfully transplanted into Mega-City One. Wagner’s surprising script twists in the least expected ways, without losing sight of the humanity at its core. Last page is like a punch in the stomach. Colin MacNeil’s vivid painted art is among the best of his career.
Originally serialised in the Judge Dredd Megazine.
