JUDGE DREDD

===========



From the nightmare world of 2000 AD comes the toughest cop of the lot - Judge Dredd, burning up the streets of

Megacity 1 on his mammoth Lawmaster bike. The con-apt blocks and walkways of the city are teeming with criminal

perps and it's up to Dredd to clean up the town!

threatening to destroy Mega-City 1.
