The little oddities of futuristic madness full of great satire that is to fans one of the big differences in Dredd compared to others.
Here we have a lot of short showcases involving the fads and crazes the everyday citizens and the rich and bonkers get caught up in.
Some ahead of its time, like the video show, Sob Story where contestants go on, plea to the viewers their sad story and hope to get money.
On such a show is where we meet the sad case of Otto Sump who sporadically appears across several of these comics compiled within.
From being the ugliest man in MC-1 to using his wealth creating a fad in ugly products. He even gets an inspired tale in the style of Citizen Kane.
One of the funnier collections in the series.

A decent collection largely made up of classic Dredd shorts. Good showing for the much-missed Ron Smith.
