There have been a number of Judge Dredd storylines that have either significantly developed the Dredd character or the fictional world, or which depict a story on a grand scale. These are listed below. For a complete list of all stories see here. Shortly before the release of the movie , three new comic book titles were released, followed by a one-off comic version of the film story.
DC Comics published an alternative version of Judge Dredd between and , lasting 18 issues. Continuity and history were different from both the original AD version and the film. A major difference was that Chief Judge Fargo , portrayed as incorruptible in the original version, was depicted as evil in the DC version.
Rogue Lawman
Another DC Comics title, lasting 13 issues between and Although these were intended to feature the same version of Judge Dredd as in the other DC title, the first four issues were written by John Wagner and Alan Grant and were consistent with their original AD version. From the same publishers as AD , this was nevertheless a completely different version of Dredd aimed at younger readers. Editor David Bishop prohibited writers from showing Dredd killing anyone, a reluctance which would be completely unfamiliar to readers acquainted with the original version.
From the same publishers as AD , this was a series of ultra-violent one-off stories from "a separate and aggressive Dredd world". These were reprinted, together with eleven new stories some by other creators , in the Judge Dredd Megazine. The original eight stories were collected in a trade paperback by Hamlyn in In the week that the film Dredd was released in the UK, a ten-page prologue was published in issue of the Judge Dredd Megazine , written by its editor, Matt Smith , and illustrated by Henry Flint.
There were also two Judge Anderson stories featuring the film version of that character in — An American film loosely based on the comic strip was released in , starring Sylvester Stallone as Dredd [] it was said that Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally requested for the role, [] but declined because in the original script, Dredd would keep the helmet on during major parts of the film.
The film received negative reviews upon its release. In the comic, he very rarely removes his helmet, and even then his real face is never revealed. Also the writers largely omitted the ironic humour of the comic strip, and ignored important aspects of the "Dredd mythology". For example, in the film a "love interest" is developed between Dredd and Judge Hershey , something that is strictly forbidden between Judges or Judges and anyone else for that matter in the comic strip. In the United States, the film won several "worst film of the year" awards.
The co-creator and main writer of the comic character, John Wagner , said:. I hated that plot. However the film has since been praised for its depiction of Dredd's city, costumes, humour and larger-than-life characters. Reliance Entertainment produced Dredd , which was released in September It was directed by Pete Travis and written by Alex Garland.
Murphey was co-producer with Travis. The main Judge Dredd writer John Wagner said:. It's high-octane, edge of the seat stuff, and gives a far truer representation of Dredd than the first movie. The film was shot in 3-D and filmed in Cape Town and Johannesburg. Funding was secured from Reliance Big Entertainment. The show is planned to be an ensemble drama about a team of Judges as they deal with the challenges of the future-shocked 22nd century. According to Karl Urban who previously played Dredd in the film of the same name , the studio's concept is to "build the show around more rookie judges and young, new judges", where Dredd himself "would come in and out".
Urban stated that he would be interested in reprising the role for this, on the condition that Dredd's part of the story be implemented in a "meaningful way". There have been multiple Judge Dredd games released for various video game consoles and several home computers such as the Sinclair ZX Spectrum , Sony Playstation and Commodore At one time, an arcade game was being developed by Midway Games series but it was never released.
It can however be found online and has three playable levels. The game sees the return of the Dark Judges when Mega-City One becomes overrun with vampires and the undead. The player takes control of Judge Dredd, with the optional addition of another Human player in co-operative play. The player can also go up against three friends in the various multiplayer modes which include " Deathmatch ", " Team Deathmatch ", "Elimination", "Team Elimination", "Informant", "Judges Vs.
Perps", "Runner" and more.

In , Rebellion released Judge Dredd Vs. Games Workshop released a Judge Dredd role-playing game in Their licence ended in Countdown Sector , available for the iOS operating system. Games Workshop produced a boardgame based on the comic strip in A key feature of the game is the different action cards that are collected during play; generally these cards are used when trying to arrest perps although some cards can also be played against other players to hinder their progress.
The winner of the game is the judge who collected the most points arresting perps. Players could sabotage each other's arrest attempts. Additionally, there were many amusing card combinations such as arresting Judge Death for selling old comics, as the Old Comic Selling crime card featured a AD cover with Judge Death on it. The game used characters, locations and artwork from the comic but is now out of print. This was a heavier game than the earlier Dredd boardgame, focused on tactical combat, in which players control these residents as they use whatever means they can to vandalize and destroy their opponent's block.
Later the same year, Games Workshop released the Mega Mania expansion for the game, allowing the game to be played by up to four players. The game features judges being called in when a gang challenges another gang that is too tough to fight.

Most helpful customer reviews on Amazon. With Rogue Lawman 3 Peter Brandvold continues to turn out fast-paced westerns that are enjoyable to read. Keep in mind that Elmore Leonard turned out good westerns too and that both he and Brandvold know how to tell an interesting story. You won't be disappointed. Peter really knows how to throw a story together! Like most of Peter's books, he can really write a story that is just descriptive enough to give your imagination a great crank up! Love his surprises and plots!
Marshal Gideon Hawk, rogue lawman-on the dodge himself, returns again in this third installment of Peter Brandvold's rollicking, thick bark-on-the-tree, series of stories with a western setting. For me westerns set in old Mexico are some of the more interesting ones, many times adding a sleazy environment to match the already sleazy elements of the story, containing many the already sleazy and abnormal curly wolves encountered in author Brandvold's stories.
This is a novel having many myriad aspects of stolen U. Juan Soto , debauched individuals living with too much squalor and too much booze, among several other requirements. While Gideon is busy with this mission of questionable mercy, another lawman Sheriff D. Flagg and his much less than professional deputies is chasing Gideon. Though they very much want to kill Gideon, this is the gang who seemingly cannot shoot straight, getting in return mostly shot up themselves.
Throw in a fairly innocent army Lieutenant named Primrose who has lost his entire command, minus one turncoat Sgt.
This jolly bunch of killers, one and all, end up pursuing one another variously, as the Indians Yaquis too chase them, around hot, dirty, sand swept old Mexico. Most readers of westerns, though not always appreciating some over-the-top items here, will probably stick with this book to receive some entertainment for doing so.
One of the most over-the-top items within book is the looney but volatile and dangerous female character, Saradee. She may want to love you or to kill you, and at times maybe both in quick succession. Readers of such adept, humorous authors as Ralph Cotton will surely 'cotton' to author Brandvold's writings. Many of us do, though Lord only knows why. Poor Gideon truly has his hands and guns full this time out. Recommended for the tenacious of heart. Marshal Gideon Hawk gives some bounty hunters a lethal lesson in how reputations are made. This leads to him being stuck with a beautiful prostitute who he is more than happy to leave with a troop of soldiers.
These soldiers are also minding payroll money and a blaze of gunfire proves things are not what they appear to be. Now Hawk will make it a personal mission to make the bushwhackers pay the only way he knows how - with their lives. This is the third book to feature Gideon Hawk and like those before it the book is filled with bloody violence.

Each chapter throwing up another deadly confrontation for Hawk. Peter Brandvold's work reminds me more of spaghetti westerns than those put out by Hollywood. They're savage, brutal and paint vivid images. Most of his characters are strong, often without morals.
