Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files #16

This handsome 2010 collection from Rebellion gathers 2000 AD Progs 736–775 and Judge Dredd Megazine 1.11–1.20, presenting a substantial chunk of Mega-City One history in one satisfying volume. Colin MacNeil's cover art sets the mood perfectly — a brooding, close-up portrait of Judge Dredd himself, his eagle-crested helmet and stern visor dominating the frame against a stark dark background, projecting the kind of quiet authority that has made the character so enduring. With writing from Garth Ennis among the contributors and MacNeil's artwork inside, this is a great way to explore a rich period of Dredd storytelling.
