The Daily [Judge] Dredds
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Daily-Dredds-v-1/dp/1781082642
Used to have a load of these in scrapbooks but it always irritated that the quality from the newsprint was poor and that I was missing more than a few. Some incomplete softcover albums were published nearly 30 years back but hopefully we`ll eventually get the lot here including the colour strips as well. Excellent artwork from the always dependable Ron Smith. |

Classic Judge Dredd mini-strips by John Wagner and Alan Grant. Other artists to work on the strip: Ian Gibson, Barry Kitson.

Got this today and mighty fine it is too. Quality of reproduction is superb overall especially on ones where they`ve gone back to the original artwork. Quality of blacks is excellent so for those of us used to seeing them printed on grotty newsprint or on cheap pulp in the previous compilations the presentation in this new volume makes them look brand new.
Hope they sell enough to justify Volume 2 - £30 is probably a bit high to the casual reader for a wholly black and white book. |

It looks like you are an avid collected. I wish I had those comic books too.
I watched both movies with Sylvester Stallone several times. |

I too cut and collected the Daily Star Dredd strips back in the 1980s. Stapled them all together and even made card covers from remains of old school exercise books and decorated with felt-tip pen artwork. Ron Smith's artwork was superb.

There were some great strips back then. I recall the one where harmless 'freaks' were being assassinated by some kind of avenging gang, only for the leader (I think) to turn out to be a freak. And there was the unofficial spree killer competition where nut jobs tried to shoot down as many people as they could before the judges got them. Did any actually survive to see if they'd taken the record or did the phone count as they did it? Can't remember!! Some crazy strips those. Might consider buying this.

Against all the odds:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Daily-Dredd...dp/1781084599/ Page count must be wrong though. |

Volume 2 out a couple of weeks ago and can be picked up for less than £18 from Amazon sellers - It'd be a crime not to buy it at that price. Page count is @400 and it's another quality production this time mostly featuring the artwork of Ian Gibson who did a great job with Robohunter and Halo Jones in 2000AD but unfortunately he's no Ron Smith, who set the bar ridiculously high for Dredd in the Daily Star and others struggle to come close. Book also has some early work from Steve "Preacher" Dillon, one of my all-time fave artists.
