Was a total joy to spend some time waxing lyrical about one of my favourite Comic creations, John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra’s Judge Dredd, in particular the ‘Beyond the Call of Duty’ arc, a story that I love but I know not everyone does, on the wonderful @megacitybookclub.bsky.social

The cover that made a reader out of me. Was able to grab 1 & 2 just before the book blew up. Such a great few years of comics.

Preacher is one of those rare series that I still re-read every couple of years. I love the art, the characters, the humour & the violence so much. Just wonderful stuff.
