☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Oxygen Board," Judge Dredd arrives on the moon during a high-stakes land grab, where the Widow Spock faces eviction by a powerful corporation. Written by John Howard and illustrated with sharp precision by Brian Bolland—his distinctive style on full display—this 1988 issue delivers a tense, grounded clash of authority and corporate greed, all under the watchful eye of the law. The cover by Jim Fern and Sam de la Rosa captures the lunar tension with striking detail.
Judge Tex investigates a deadly crime wave on Luna-1, where a gang uses tranq gas to incapacitate the city’s population before committing mass theft. When 53,000 citizens die and the perpetrators vanish, justice takes a brutal turn as the Oxygen Board—enforcing debts with lethal precision—cuts off air to the gang’s hideout, leaving them to suffocate with their stolen wealth.
In the high-stakes lunar land grab of "Let the Land Race Begin!", Widow Spock finds her claim under threat from a powerful corporation, forcing her to confront the cold calculus of ownership on the moon. With Walter the Wobot at her side and Rowena watching closely, the arrival of Judge Dredd throws the race into chaos—just as the real game begins.
In "The Face-Change Crimes," Judge Dredd goes undercover using a face-changing machine to infiltrate the Tooley gang, a criminal operation led by Al, Brad, and Lapsley Tooley, and their associate Manny Bloom. As Dredd assumes the identities of the gang members, he uncovers their sophisticated heists—perpetrated with the help of their own advanced disguise technology—testing the limits of deception in a world where identity is no longer fixed.
