Judge Dredd: Cry of the Werewolf John Wagner 9781781080320

HAIR-RAISING ADVENTURES IN MEGA-CITY ONE!

Mega-City One - A vast, nightmarish future metropolis built on top of the polluted cities that once populated the eastern seaboard of the United States. The forgotten Undercity is now a lawless refuge for unwanted outcasts from the 'Big Meg' - mutants, monsters and escaped criminals all struggle to survive on the streets of old Manhattan.

A chemical spill in the Undercity has spawned a race of super-stong lycanthropes, all desperate to get above ground and feast on the flesh of Mega-City One's citizens. Things could get hairy, but thankfully Judge Dredd is on the case!

This collection of dog-eat-dog tales features some of 2000 AD's finest talents, including John 'the werewolf' Wagner (A History of Violence), 'growling' Gordon Rennie (Necronauts), 'snarling' Steve Dillon (Preacher) and 'lycanthropic' Leigh Gallagher (Defoe), amongst others.

John Wagner has been scripting for 2000 AD for more years than he cares to remember. His creations include Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Ace Trucking, Al's Baby, Button Man and Mean Machine. Outside of 2000 AD his credits include Star Wars, Lobo, The Punisher and the critically acclaimed A History of Violence.

With over 300 2000 AD stories to his name - not to mention over 250 Daily Star Judge Dredd strips - Alan Grant's prolific creative record speaks for itself. Outside the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, Grant is well-known to Batman fans following a lengthy run on various incarnations of the title. More recently he has adapted Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novels Kidnapped and Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde in Graphic Novel format with artist Cam Kennedy. His television work includes scripts for the BBC series Ace Lightning and the Carnival of Doom.

Gordon Rennie is one of 2000 AD and the Megazine's most prolific creators, with co-creative credits for Caballistics, Inc., Glimmer Rats, Missionary Man, Necronauts, Storming Heaven, Rain Dogs and Witchworld. He has also written Daily Star Dredd strips, Judge Dredd, Harke and Burr, Mean Machine, Past Imperfect, Pulp Sci-Fi, Rogue Trooper, Satanus, Terror Tales, Tharg the Mighty, Vector 13, Absalom and Aquila.

Robbie Morrison is one of 2000 AD's most popular writers, having co-created The Bendatti Vendetta, Shakara, Shimura and Vanguard, and has chronicled the adventures of Judge Dredd in 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine. He is also co-creator of fan-favourite Russian rogue Nikolai Dante, which won an Eagle award for 'Best UK Character', beating Judge Dredd to this accolade for the first time in almost twenty years. In the US, he has written Spider-Man's Tangled Web for Marvel and The Authority for DC/WildStorm. His and artist Charlie Adlard's critically acclaimed graphic novel White Death has also been hugely successful in both Europe and the US.
