The Law In Order: Securo Pod Heist

And so we are into the Daily Star Dredds. Orlok used to buy the shitty newspaper, cut out the good stuff (no, not the dairy cushions on page 5) and then bin ’em. Speaking of binning things, the first story is just a rehash of Prog 2 so that can be skipped. 

DATELINE:
September 2103

WHO’S RESPONSIBLE?:
John Wagner, Alan Grant and Ron Smith.

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT (IN ONE SENTENCE)?:
Dredd foils an aerial robbery.

WHAT THE DROKK?:
The perp clearly drops the scatterbomb before grabbing Dredd’s Lawgiver. Rather than let the perp pull the trigger and destroy the gun, Dredd could have either smacked him or grabbed the gun away as the perp went for it. It’s almost like he wants the perp to die.
And doesn’t Dredd (under Smith’s design) usually have 2 Lawgivers?

WHAT’S THE ART LIKE?:
Standard.

HOW MANY LINKS?:
A good into to the Lawgiver’s operation. Three links.
