These critiques of the various collections have piqued my interest for adding some of the original comics to my library.<br /><br />A syllogism did come to mind, BTW:<br /><br />Judge Dredd says "I am the law."<br />Other people say "The law is an ass."<br />What therefore follows:<br /><br />a) Judge Dredd is an ass?<br /><br />b) The citizen who made this syllogism just earned himself six months in an isocell?<br /><br />or c) The citizen making this syllogism will be beaten soundly enough by Judge Dredd to make future recidivism unlikely?

Luckily, there is still the odd gem in there, but some of these comics are easily the worst Dredd stories I ever read.<br /><br />Mr. Bennet is definitely a riff on Mr Benn, an oddly spooky little kids thing:<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr_Benn<br />Bob Temukahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09181473725170489213noreply@blogger.com
