Fog on the Eerie was my favourite part of these stories. I also notice that either the Judges get a lot better kids now than twenty years earlier, or Dredd's gone soft over the years - they got through a great deal better than poor Spode.

I read this story in 2000ad, before it was a collected story. What I remember is really cool back history of dredd's world, judges on a hot dog run (always makes for fantastic stories), adventures in the cursed earth and focking great art work by Henry flint (land sharks by flint Henry is sooo bloody cool) all in all a great read from the house tharg!

Most of the stories collected here were OK. My favorites were “Fog On The Eerie” and “Dance Of The Spider Queen. The art ranged from relatively good to crap, unfortunately.
