Wait, What?

In episode two, Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester undertake the second Judge Dredd Case The Complegte Case Files, which contains both The Cursed Earth and The Day The Law Died!, two very different mega-epics from two very different writers: Pat Mills and John Wagner.

Join us for close to three full hours of wonderment, bafflement, arguments, and awe as we look at the crucial second year of this crucial British comic book icon!
