This collection of stories serves as one of the first extended story arcs in the Judge Dredd canon and it does a remarkable job of balancing the short stories about the zany world outside the walls of Mega-City One while also telling the larger story of Dredd's rescue mission. I really enjoyed this version of Judge Dredd. He has a certain moral compass/level of empathy that is largely missing from the more modern iterations of Dredd. This empathy is shown most notably through the story of Tweak
Mega City 2 are suffering from the plague 2T(fru)T and mega city 1 have made an antidote but can't cross the cursed Earth no-mans land to get it there. Judge Dredd is their only hope. Teamed up with 2 other judges and punk criminal Spikes Rotten he must drive across the post apocalyptic desert to administer the much needed antidote and save the population. The cursed earth throws everything in his path: red-necks, mutants, dinosaurs, robot vampires and even aliens!This one is very episodic - the...
It was an all right comic in its first year or so, but it's this story that finally sets Judge Dredd apart. We get to see more of the world, hear its grim history, even develop Dredd as a character. Action's good and the earth's weird and deadly. No complaints.
This, kind of a Wagner take on Damnation Alley is the single best 'Prog' in Dredd history. When Mega City 2 is hit by a deadly virus, Dredd and a criminal must cross the radiation wastes of the US to bring them the anti-serum. Brilliant in every way. This is the one Dredd story every fan should read.
I love Tweaks
Fabulous, the first great Dredd epic written by Mills with art by Bolland and Mc. It doesn't get much better than this.
Some life saving drugs need to be transported across a desolate wasteland.I really liked this story when I was young, but I found revisiting it disappointing.
Synopsis Megacity two is afflicted by a deadly plague left over from the Germ Wars, 2T-(FRU)T colloquially referred to as the ‘Tooty Fruity!’ which turns those it infects into human flesh craving cannibalistic maniacs. As of the start of the story, over 70% of mega city two has been infected and was under the control of the roving cannibal warbands. All outside contact has been lost, no help can arrive due to the loss of the spaceport, and what remained of the city’s uninfected beleaguered c
The Cursed Earth is an amazing invention in the formative years of the Judge Dredd strip, before the hardness of the eponymous character was laid down. It is full of strangeness and promise, something brought on in spades in the first/second mega epic in series canon. Without the character being pinned down, Dredd feels like a generic stoic hero character in this storyline. More exasperating is the excessive tweeness of certain moments that ruin any sense of suspense. For me, what makes the Curs...
Fun and crazy. None of the movies really captured the book's satirical bent.
This was very obviously written in the seventies. The dialogue is hammy AF, and the drawing is... odd. (And there's at least four separate characters who look similar enough that I thought they were the same people.) Still an enjoyable romp, though.
It was an okay Judge Dredd comic but the written dialogue let it down some, and I'm not really a fan of black and white either in comics
Omnibus edition featuring most of the Cursed Earth episodes from 2000AD comic.Two had to be left out due to a legal issue (featuring characters based on Ronald McDonald and Colonel Saunders in the fast-food wars).This edition was a smaller size (and hence a bit cheaper) than the normal size, but did make it a bit hard to read in places.The story is as I remembered it from back in the day, featuring Judge Dredd having to cross the Cursed Earth to get a vaccine to the people of Mega City Two. A co...
‘The Cursed Earth Saga’ is an early Judge Dredd epic and is presented here in mostly full. The missing bits are from 2000AD progs 71-72 and 77-78 and they are summarized in text but omitted for ‘copyright’ reasons. Those wits at 2000AD messed with multi-national fast-food corporations which are long on lawsuits and short on humour. The missing parts by no means ruin the saga. Plague has struck Mega City 2 on the west coast of America and they need a vaccine. Unfortunately, the usual access to Me...
My second Favourite Judge Dredd collection after the Apocalypse War
Great blast from the past!Oh man, this early Dredd collection was tons of fun. I used to read lots of 2000A.D. comics in the eighties, so I was happy when IDW recently rebooted Dredd. However, the new stuff can't hold up to the insanity of the original. This collection contains one the best story arcs featuring wild situations, frantic action, kooky characters and great chaotic art that gives everything a punk sensibility. They really don't make them like this anymore.
La urgencia de entregar una vacuna en Mega City 2 obliga a que Dredd y un reducido respaldo inicien una travesía por Las Tierras Malditas, en un viaje no exento de peligros. Historia en plan road movie que brinda un nuevo relieve al personaje, mostrando su lado más humano frente al cruel semblante ofrecido por los exiliados en esta tierra. Grata lectura (que pudo ser mejor de haber ofrecido un solo dibujante para todos los episodios).
Thought this was a fun read from the Dredd world. Mega City 2 is plagued and only Dredd with a handful of Judges and one criminal even Dredd admits is the best rider out there have to travel through cursed earth from mega city 1 to mega city 2 to deliver the much needed antidote.Of course on the way and in each comic that is compiled here a varied array of antagonists want to cause trouble.
