We again follow the Wally Squad operatives as they try to fight off the really weird criminals in Mega City One. While some of the stories are in category of their own (really weird :) like new drug called Creation) others are more or less standard undercover work with single plot linking all of th eevents - who exactly is the Big Man?

Dirty Frank is again one of the best characters (at least for me :) ), that man is .... lets just say disturbing :)

Recommended for fans of action and thriller. ( )

The very famous Judge Dredd is the most famous law enforcement officer in Mega-City one but there are others. The Wally Squad is a group of Judges who work undercover in the low-life section of Dredd‘s city. They are: Aimee Nixon, a lady with a robotic left arm who can beat any lie detector; Dirty Frank, who has been undercover so long he is insane but still upholds the law; Eric (mortal) Coil who was mutated back into baby form after exposure to radiation in the Cursed Earth; Thora, a young female Judge surgically altered to resemble an aged crone. This volume contains three stories about the Wally Squad.

First up is ‘War without Bloodshed’, script by Rob Williams, art by Rufus Dayglo. Aimee Nixon investigates a union that has organized human labour on the docks. There should be no human labour on the docks as it’s all done by robots normally but the union boss sort of threatened the owner of one company and he sort of preferred human labour to death. Aimee thinks the work rather pointless and is scathing about the dignity of labour that the new workers value so much. It turns out there is more to the union than meets the eye. A good story. The art of Rufus Dayglo is striking rather than realistic but that is the fashion nowadays in comics. Hal Foster is turning in his grave.

The second tale is ‘Creation’, script by Rob Williams again but art by D’Israeli this time around. The art of D’Israeli is slightly more pleasing to my eyes than that of Rufus Dayglo and the script was great. I love Dirty Frank, a hairy maniac who talks with a rich vocabulary and a mordant sense of humour. Rob Williams admits that the character’s appearance was inspired by Alan Moore but I think his dialogue is Moore-ish too, though Mister Moore does not talk about himself in the third person.

Anyway, Frank, it has been decided, is now too mad to be a Judge anymore. He must spend his last days grooming a replacement, a young man called Cameron who believes that judging is all about violence, intimidation and really big guns. Creation is a new drug hitting the low-life streets of Mega-City One and they must investigate. It all gets very biblical and chaotic but Frank can cope with the madness because he is crazy anyway.

A great collection. I love Mega-City and I love Mad Frank.
