The Law In Order: Cityblock 2

With Ash Vs Evil Dead now cancelled Orlok tries to quell the rage by dipping into the early years of the world’s greatest strip. This time it’s another tale of ordinary citizens coping as best they can under the brutal yoke of the Judges. And by coping I of course mean taking up a shooter and blazing away like twunts…

DATELINE:
June 2101 (Prog 118).

WHO’S RESPONSIBLE?:
John Wagner piles on the Judicial hardships and Ron Smith’s egg timer gets another gold star.

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT (IN ONE SENTENCE)?:
Dredd has to deal with a futsie that is sniping at citizens.

WHO’S THAT IN THE HELMET?:
Judges Low and Len put in a useless appearance.

ANY LAW LORE?:
A Mega City Crime Survey of 2095 found that 750 crimes were committed each day in every block. 87 of these were major in nature.

IT’S CULTURAL, INNIT?:
Harriet Beecher Stowe was an author and abolitionist.
Benjamin Spock was a prominent paediatrician and anti- Vietnam War activist.

WHAT THE DROKK?:
Dredd’s pose in rescuing the suicidal futsie is physically impossible.

Apart from the above pose, this is grand stuff.

HOW MANY LINKS?:
A solid four for the humour and the bleakness of life under Judicial rule.
