Judge Dredd: Necropolis

Dredd loses faith in the system, retires, pardons the Democrats he once arrested and takes the Long Walk into the Cursed Earth. Tale of the Dead Man opens Case Files 14 and shows that turn; the fuller prelude, The Dead Man, ran in 2000 AD without Dredd's name on it and is collected separately. Then the Dark Judges take the city, about 60 million die and McGruder returns as Chief Judge. John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra, progs 674 to 699.
