Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files Guide

There are a lot of Judge Dredd stories. The character has been featured in the weekly anthology 2000 AD since 1977, only missing a few progs in that time. Throw in the monthly Judge Dredd Megazine as well, and the amount of material available can be overwhelming. Luckily, 2000 AD has made it easy to jump in and read the dark dystopian satire that Judge Dredd lives in with Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files.

This guide details everything you need to know about Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files. It includes a detailed list of all the volumes, along with other helpful details that will answer questions you have about this reprint series.

What are Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files?

While it’s not the only way to read Judge Dredd comics, The Complete Case Files dives into the back catalogue of stories from 2000 AD’s signature series. Each volume collects Judge Dredd stories from 2000 AD and Judge Dredd Megazine chronologically, similar to the Marvel Epic Collection or DC Finest. Volume 1 contains the earliest comics, with subsequent volumes collecting the next batch of stories.

Each book reprints approximately 280-380 pages of comics. The earlier volumes feature more material because it’s cheaper to publish black-and-white material. The books become slimmer when the comics reprinted are predominantly in full colour.

Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files volumes include extras like creator biographies and cover galleries.

Is it a good way to start reading Judge Dredd?

Are The Complete Case Files a good way for new readers to start reading Judge Dredd? Yes! Each volume contains plenty of self-contained stories that make it easy to dive into the dark satire of Mega City-One.

You don’t even need to read from the first volume. In fact, as a new reader, it’s better that you don’t as it took a while for 2000 AD to solidify what Judge Dredd and his world are all about. The following section and the annotations in the volume list will give a better guide to which volumes are worth your time as a new reader.

Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 37 cover.

Do I need to read every volume?

Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files started in 2009, with more than 40 volumes published since then. While hardcore fans will want to collect and read them all, it’s not required for new and casual readers.

Instead, it’s better to dive into the good stuff first. This includes the golden period of the 1980s through to the early 1990s, as collected in Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 03-18. The series has found its feet by this stage, refining the kind of dark satire it wants to be and having figured and fleshed out Judge Dredd and his world. It also has countless classic stories, from smaller self-contained ones to tentpole epics like Judge Death and The Apocalypse War.

For those wanting something more modern, jump to approximately the 32nd volume for the 21st-century material. Please note: while there are plenty of self-contained stories throughout, there are occasional tales featuring recurring ideas or harken back to tentpole stories from the golden period.

You can go back to the earliest material as a curiosity once you’ve read the good stuff. The same can be said about the volumes collecting stories from approximately 1993-1999, which is a low period for the character.

Where can I find Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files?

Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files volumes can be found at all good comic book shops, online retailers, eBay (especially eBay UK), Amazon/Kindle, and on the 2000 AD Webshop (print/DRM-free digital).

The first volume collects the earliest Judge Dredd material. However, I would only recommend reading this as a curiosity if you’re a new reader. During this period, the strip had several different writers, and it took a while to find its identity. Skip it for now and come back to it later.

Judge Dredd started to find its groove in the latter half of 1978. At this point, John Wagner had become the primary writer, which allowed the strip to find a consistent voice and solidify the themes. There were also longer stories, which helped flesh out the primary ideas.

Notable stories in this volume include The Cursed Earth Saga and The Day the Law Died.

When it comes to The Cursed Earth Saga, it’s worth noting that some chapters are missing in The Complete Case Files 02. This is due to the parody of commercial characters and brands. However, these chapters saw the light of day in 2016’s Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth Uncensored collection.

It hasn’t been collected in The Complete Case Files as it was not billed as a Judge Dredd story. However, it becomes clear that it is at the end and is part of the build-up to Necropolis.
