267: When Judges Go Bad

I met up with Giles Wright at the Lawless convention to discuss another eclectic mix of Judge Dredd stories from some masters of the form. We talk about how Dredd's world reflects our own concerns about policing, and then take some time to run through the highlights of Lawless. This collection is out of print but it is available digitally from that place.
