JudgeDredd - Bato Loco by Rennie, Coleby –
This is a nice solid JudgeDredd story filled with the usual mix of ultrviolence, bizarre humour and originality to entertain (how many other comicbook stories would open with a half naked guy wielding a chainsaw whilst land surfing on the body of an enormously fat dead body?).
Dredd is one of many so-called "judges" who maintain order in Mega City One, a vast, impossibly dense urban sprawl that covers the entire eastern portion of North America in the 22nd century dystopia in which he lives.
For example, Dredd once investigated an attempt on the part of organized criminals to prey on a professional baseball team, and, being absolutely impartial in his upholding of the law, wound up putting away most of the players and coaching staff, and quite a few spectators, on unrelated charges, most involving victimless crimes.
JudgeDredd is the major star of Britain's weekly science fiction comic book, 2000 AD, which was launched by IPC magazines with a cover date of Feb. 26, 1977.
