Dreadnoughts: The March of Progress - (Judge Dredd) by Michael Carroll (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The hard-hitting second volume of the acclaimed Dreadnoughts series, depicting the early days of Judge Dredd's world.

After a crime blitz in Boulder leads to riots against the Judges' excessive use of force and violation of human rights, the Hemlock Cartel takes advantage of the chaos to declare all-out war against the Justice Department. It is up to Judge Glover to eradicate their threat - even if her crusade could risk revealing the long-buried secrets of her past.

The best-selling series charting the origins of Judge Dredd's world continues with this provocative and socially relevant second volume, written by Michael Carroll (Judge Dredd) and drawn by John Higgins (Watchmen).
