In Mega-City One, the Judges are the law - acting as judge, jury, and executioner. But how do the citizens really feel about a system where they are powerless?
America Jara and Bennett Beeny grow up as best friends, living a fairly trouble-free life in a dangerous city... bar the odd, negative encounter with a Judge. Time draws them apart, and when they are brought back together, Beeny is a successful singer and America has become involved with a terrorist organisation known as Total War, which has the Justice Department in its sights!
This dark and complex tale is considered to be one of the best stories to ever come out of the Judge Dredd universe.
Featuring Joseph Fiennes as Dredd, and an ensemble cast including Paterson Joseph, and Matthew Jacobs Morgan, fans of Judge Dredd and newcomers to Mega City One alike will be transported to brutal dystopian world Dredd for an immersive listening experience like no other.

—— BookmunchHayes’s green-filtered, stylised illustrations have a breathtaking punch to them.
—— Teddy Jamieson , Herald ScotlandThe Drunken Sailor is an Impressionist hymn to Rimbaud. But Hayes' song is greatly embellished with knowledge... You run the gamut when you read this book.
—— BookmunchA bewitching work from one of Britain’s finest graphic novelists.
—— James Smart , Guardian,**Books of the Year**A reminder of why long-form comics journalism does things other non-fiction genres can't.
—— Sam Solnick , White Review, *Books of the Year*The culmination of Sacco's reportage on the Dene peoples of the Northwest Territories of Canada... he creates a nuanced picture, developed primarily through his interview subjects in their own words
—— Sophie Yanow , Observer, *Books of the Year*Sacco's nuanced interviews and intricate drawings capture an impressive range of voices, each searching for a route forward as the ice melts and old ways fade.
—— James Smart , Guardian, *Books of the Year*Mordantly funny and beautifully drawn.
—— Sarah Hughes , iCharting the lives of Nebraskan outcast Rusty Brown and his family, friends, and enemies, Ware brings his telescoping lens to the large and small details of his characters’ intersecting, brutally human experiences. His dazzling geometric art amply rewards the challenge posed by each puzzle-like page.
—— Rich Johnston , Bleeding CoolWare's storytelling holds a magnifying glass over their existences, revealing their lives in intricate, miniscule detail. His artwork is evocative and strangely hypnotic – veering between funny, sad and thought provoking.

—— Rachel Cooke , Observer, *Books of the Year*A mindblowing volume of draughtsmanship.

—— Teddy Jamieson , Herald, *Books of the Year*This is the work of a tremendously gifted cartoonist whose formal brilliance is indisputable, and whose sprawling narratives come to us via endlessly inventive pages. Rusty Brown is another masterpiece from Ware, and is unmissable.
—— Pete Redrup , Quietus, *Books of the Year*An intriguing, insightful not-quite-biography of the Brontë which explores both their real and imaginary worlds.
—— Yvette Huddleston , Yorkshire PostA tale about the collision between dreamlike places of possibility and constrained lives. None of the Brontë would reach 40. Yet their work still entrances us and Greenberg gives their tangled early creations gripping and generous life.
—— James Smart , GuardianA vivid foundation story for the great torrent of romantic fiction that was shortly to burst forth.
—— Strong Words
