I always saw Dredd as British, particularly the humour, even though the setting isn't exactly British, perhaps because I grew up reading it (my enlightened primary school had a cupboard of 2000ADs and Eagles that was unlocked at break on rainy days)Sci-Fi Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038987149801517138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502007995912160968.post-23579782004865800882013-01-07T21:35:57.671+00:002013-01-07T21:35:57.671+00:00Alex, I haven't managed to see Dredd yet, but ...Alex, I haven't managed to see <i>Dredd</i> yet, but that's something I plan to rectify next week. I'll report back then.<br /> <br />Tony, IDW have just started another American title for the same reason as DC did: on the back of a film.

I remember when DC published the character (in two separate titles) in the 1990s, but didn't even read him then.
