Judges Volume 1, Paperback

New fiction series exploring the (very) near-future origins of Judge Dredd's Department of Justice

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 2033 A.D.

In a time of widespread poverty, inequality and political unrest, Special Prosecutor Eustace Fargo's controversial new justice laws have come into effect.

Protests and violence meet the first Judges as they hit the street to enforce the Law; the cure, it's clear, is far worse than the disease.

Is this a sign of things to come?
