The first volume of Judge Dredd's complete case files was a bit hit or miss since it was a collection of early 8 page strips that were usually more parody-oriented. But with Vol 2 things really click. First Dredd has an epic multi-part journey through the Cursed Earth, fighting off mutants and monsters to deliver a vital vaccine. But he gets no rest since upon his return he had another multi-part epic where the mad Judge Cal turns Mega City One into his own insane police state.
These were some of the first Dredd stories I read and they hold up. There's a few plot holes (why not fly over the Cursed Earth and land near the plague-infested Mega City 2) and some chapters had to left out for copyright reasons (the introduction summarized them though) but these are mostly straight up action stories and still work today.
The black and white reproduction is crisp throughout, a few pages look like they were originally published in color and look a little muddy. But these are minor quibbles.
For $20 you get over 300 pages of classic British comics, there aren't many better buys in comics today.

This right here is an essential comic volume. Conveniently this Judge Dredd collection starts out with the first Dredd epic, The Cursed Earth. Dredd has to trek across this savage wasteland and face all sorts of crazy menaces, to save Mega City 2! Even better, right after this leads into the second Dredd epic, The Day The Law Died, where Mega City One has it's own problems. These are some of my early favorites, and when Dredd really started to rock. There's also room for a couple stand alone tales at the end of the book, including the classic Punks Rule.
Wagner, Mills, Bolland, McMahon and friends giving us some great fun stuff, some of the best of the late 70s. Check it out.
