The Law In Order: Target: Chief Judge

It is very difficult being the leader of the most powerful nation on the planet. One minute you are having a power breakfast with a man who wants to build secret tunnels inside and the next you are fearing for your life because of something as insurmountable as light rain. One of the last things you need to fuck up your day is to be within spitting distance of the Ross clones…

DATELINE:
January 2104 (Daily Star).

WHO’S RESPONSIBLE?:
John Wagner and Alan Grant with Ron Smith on the case.

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT (IN ONE SENTENCE)?:
An assassin targets Chief Judge Griffin in a clear case of false flaggery.

WHO’S THAT IN THE HELMET?:
Judge Collier gives his life to save Griffin, taking the blast of a homing missile.

The perp’s outfit aside this was OK.

HOW MANY LINKS?:

The Law In Order: A Christmas Story

The War on Christmas that goes on solely in the minds of white folk everywhere spreads to the Big Meg, where those killjoy Judges are stopping people from living just how Jebus would want them to; throwing balls of frozen water at each other. It’s enough to make you want to take in a couple of immigrants fleeing for their lives, innit? Luckily, Liberal Muslim Dredd is on hand to crush them all.

DATELINE:
December 2103 (Daily Star).

WHO’S RESPONSIBLE?:
John Wagner and Alan Grant with the great Ron Smith.

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT (IN ONE SENTENCE)?:
Rioting citizens demand a white Christmas.

WHO’S THAT IN THE HELMET?:
Chief Judge Jurgen Griffin is overruled by Dredd. Know your place, buddy.

WHAT THE DROKK?:
When the Chief Judge is about to order a riot squad to teach the cits a lesson, Dredd overrules Griffin’s decision and opts for a localised blizzard. Does Dredd actually outrank the Chief now?
How is Griffin’s eyepatch working? It’s over the top of his head and down his neck.
The White Christmas League sounds a bit “alt-righty”.

WHAT’S THE ART LIKE?:
Standard.

The Law In Order: Perp Runners

It can be argued that perps get a rough time of it in the Big Meg since for some people, a criminal way of life is the only way to get out of a shitty situation. So, if one were being chased by the Judges and escaping the city was the only way out, would you turn to a complete bunch of dickheads to sort that out for you? Well, it turns out the answer is a resounding “yes”…

John Wagner and Alan Grant with Ron Smith.

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT (IN ONE SENTENCE)?:

WHAT’S THE ART LIKE?:
Bog standard.

The Law In Order: Cyborg

We live in an age of actual cyborgs now. Among us walk humans who have mechanical hearts or computerised prosthetic arms and yet here Orlok sits without such enhancements. Is he afraid of change, or is it that he just cannot fully relax into a cybernetically enhanced handjob that may or may not have been hacked by the Russians.

DATELINE:
December 2103 (Daily Star).

WHO’S RESPONSIBLE?:
John Wagner and Alan Grant with the ever present Ron Smith.

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT (IN ONE SENTENCE)?:
Dredd deals with a cyborg perp.

The perp is hidden from Dredd yet attacks him for no reason.

Standard stuff.
