{"product_id":"9781837869084","title":"Judge Dredd: Compact Crimes 1","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e: John Wagner has been scripting for  2000 AD for more years than he cares to remember. His creations include  Judge Dredd,  Strontium Dog,  Ace Trucking,  Al's Baby,  Button Man and  Mean Machine. Outside of  2000 AD his credits include  Star Wars,  Lobo,  The Punisher and the critically acclaimed,  A History of Violence.  Carlos Ezquerra was the co-creator of  Judge Dredd,  Strontium Dog,  Rat Pack,  Major Eazy and many other fan-favourite characters, he designed the classic original Dredd costume as well as visually conceptualising Mega-City One. In addition to these credits he also illustrated  A.B.C. Warriors,  Judge Anderson,  Tharg the Mighty, and  Cursed Earth Koburn amongst many other stories. Outside of the 'Galaxy's Greatest Comic', Ezquerra illustrated the first  Third World War episodes in  Crisis magazine, and became a regular collaborator with Garth Ennis, working on  Adventures in the Rifle Brigade,  Bloody Mary,  Just a Pilgrim,  Condors,  The Magnificent Kevin and two special  Preacher episodes. He died in 2018 but his profound influence on the world of comic art cannot be overstated.  Perhaps the most popular  2000 AD artist of all time, Brian Bolland's clean-line style and meticulous attention to detail ensure that his artwork on strips including,  Dan Dare,  Future Shocks,  Judge Dredd and  Walter the Wobot looks as fresh today as it did when first published. Co-creator of both Judge Anderson and the Kleggs, Bolland's highly detailed style unfortunately precluded him from doing many sequential strips -- although he found the time to pencil both  Camelot 3000 and  Batman: The Killing Joke for DC Comics.  Pat Mills is the creator and first editor of  2000 AD. He developed  Judge Dredd and is the writer-creator of many of  2000 AD's most popular stories such as  Sláine,  Nemesis and  A.B.C. Warriors.  Amongst his credits are  Marshal Law (Marvel and DC Comics), co-created with Kevin O'Neill, the French graphic novel series,  Requiem, Vampire Knight with artist Olivier Ledroit,  and Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave! The Secret History of 2000 AD and Judge Dredd. One of  2000 AD's best-loved and most honoured artists, Ian Gibson is responsible for the co-creation of  The Ballad of Halo Jones (with Alan Moore), and created Bella Bagley, an unfortunate character in Judge Dredd's world who fell head-over-heels in love with 'Old Stoney Face' himself! His work outside the Galaxy's Greatest Comic includes  Chronicles of Genghis Grimtoad, Star Wars: Boba Fett, X-Men Unlimited, plus the designs for the TV series  Reboot.  His characters all spiky lines and outsized boots, Mick McMahon - sometimes known as Mike - co-created perennial  2000 AD favourites  The V.C.s, and provided Tharg with many classic episodes of  Judge Dredd,  Ro-Busters,  A.B.C. Warriors and  Sláine. Outside of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, he drew an adventure with the original Cybermen for  Doctor Who Magazine; Sonic the Hedgehog for  Sonic the Comic; and, in America, issues of  Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight plus the mini-series  Tattered Banners and  The Last American, the latter co-created with John Wagner and Alan Grant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2027-01-26\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2000 AD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48278742761698,"sku":"9781837869084","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9781837869084.jpg?v=1787960894","url":"https:\/\/www.mangadeal.com\/products\/9781837869084","provider":"Manga Deal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
