Judge Dredd Cry Of The Werewolf
MEGA-CITY ONE � A VAST, NIGHTMARISH FUTURE METROPOLIS BUILT ON TOP OF THE POLLUTED CITIES THAT ONCE POPULATED THE EASTERN SEABOARD OF THE UNITED STATE. 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-strong 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.

WHEN I MEET JUDGE DREDD
I bought like 19 years ago, a TPB translated to Spanish, made on Spain, making a re-printing of the main story here, Cry of the Werewolf, in a book fair in my country, Costa Rica.
I was amazed of the pencils of Steve Dillon, that reminded me a lot that good ol' 70's style of underground comics, like a comic that I was able to read of Rin-Tin-Tin.
Also there was this really cool story about werewolves attacking a city defended by this force of Judges.
I didn't know anything about Judge Dredd before, and while I was reading the TPB on my way to home, I knew that I had to get back to that book fair, the following day to check if that stand had any other TPBs!!!
It was amazing!!!
That TPB reached to my life in a time that the Mexican publishing house that was reprinting American comics was out of business; and being able to get original comics on English was impossible.
So, I was like in a limbo of comics.
I was totally stunned when I read that TPB meeting Judge Dredd.
For the ones that who doesn't know about. Judge Dredd is a British comic book title printing since late 70s until now. On Britain, Judge Dredd is as popular, if not more, as other comic book character. On Spain, Judge Dredd is very popular too since the co-creator of the comic is from that country.
Well, at the following day I was able to get 2 more TPBs and since then, I was fan of Dredd and his world.
RETURN TO CRY OF THE WEREWOLF
Last December (2012), I was able to get the original TPB on English and I am totally happy to be able to have this in my official comic book collection.
The TPB also has along with the original story, 3 more stories, one is a direct sequel of the events in the original story.
The other two, are kinda related due the topic of the werewolves and people becoming beasts. So, definitely they are good options to read there too.

In this one Judge Dredd must descend into the Undercity to investigate how a flesh-eating werewolf ended up in Mega-City One and make sure no others make their way to the surface.
I loved this, it's one of the best Dredd stories I've ever read and it's beautifully illustrated by Steve Dillon.
This is a must have for any Dredd fan.

Fun book with great art that rockets along to a whimper of an ending. I wanted more wolf Dredd! Will check out Judge Dredd Deviations as that's apparently the point of that book.

Reason for Reading: I love the Judge Dredd universe!
While the title may have you thinking differently, this book has no paranormal activity until the very last one-off story. The book begins with the titular story from the '80s which is 7 parts long and almost half the book in length. "Werewolves" have found their way into Mega-City from the Undercity, their existence is based upon science, chemicals to be exact. I loved this story, very well done and written by Wagner & Grant. The book is published in b/w up to this point. Then we jump ahead to the 2000s for a direct sequel to this story. From here the art in the book is full colour. I also loved this sequel written by Wagner but I found the art very strange. Even though the publisher's summary tells us 3 other werewolf stories are included, these two which make up half the book are the only true "werewolf" stories.
The rest of the book contains two somewhat thematically related one-offs. First is a story set in the Cursed Earth which features bounty hunters who are mutants descended from Navajo spiritwalkers and are permanently in humanoid dog form. This introduces (to me) a great female character named Quadrille, I hope she shows up again. Finally, is "Asylum" which involves the Psi-Division and a paranormal creature, a vampire. This is the first time I've met up with Psi Judge Karyn but I liked her and I found the story creepy but unexpected when the theme is supposed to be werewolves. A good collection of some of the stranger tales one can find within the Dredd universe. I prefer the proper crime stuff myself but am not against the weirder storylines at all. Good book for the Halloween season.
