Does anyone else think it’s weird that I got an American guest last time to look at Judge Dredd, a British comic that’s clearly riffing on American ideals? I kind of think it was, even though I wasn’t thinking about that at all the first time around.

Listen in as real life British person Andrew Young from 4 Panel comes on the show to give us a more nuanced perspective on where Judge Dredd comes from and what makes it something worth exploring today.

Learn such things as:

• How bad can a Judge Dredd light gun game really be?
• What does a British comic anthology know about American society anwyay?
• Do game critics even look at the source material when a game is based on something that already exists.
• And so much more!
