He is the law - and you better believe it! Judge, jury and
executioner, Judge Dredd is the brutal comic book cop policing the
chaotic future urban jungle of Mega-City One, created by John
Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra and launching in the pages of 2000 AD in
1977. But what began as a sci-fi action comic quickly evolved into
a searing satire on hardline, militarised policing and 'law and
order' politics, its endless inventiveness and ironic humour acting
as a prophetic warning about our world today - and with important
lessons for our future. Blending comic book history with
contemporary radical theories on policing, I Am The Law takes key
Dredd stories from the last 45 years and demonstrates how they
provide a unique wake up call about our gradual, and not so
gradual, slide towards authoritarian policing. From the
politicisation of policing to 'zero tolerance', from violent
suppression of protest to the rise of the surveillance state, I Am
The Law examines how a comic book warned us about the chilling
endgame of today's 'law and order' politics.
