The Cursed Earth | 
pickThe reprint of Alan Moore's Future Shocks I just read was ok, but not as good as I remembered from my teen years. Fortunately, the Cursed Earth Saga of Judge Dredd's mercy mission to deliver a vaccine to Mega-City Two by crossing 1000 miles of radioactive wasteland, in the company of a law-breaking punk & a rock-eating alien, was still brilliant! Combining Mad Max, Damnation Alley & Jurassic Park in a wild badlands adventure! I AM THE LAW!! 4🛡️
Bookwomble #BannedBooks Originally published in 1978 in serial form, this 2003 reprint had to leave out Dredd's Cursed Earth adventure in the Burger Wars, thanks to threats of legal action by McDonalds and KFC, who took exception to their companies'post-apocalyptic portrayal as metaphors for corporate greed and environmental destruction. Later reprints do include these episodes, which would be fun to track down. 2y
