Mega-City One, 2148 AD. Home to over 300 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, with the toxic Black Atlantic on one side and the irradiated Cursed Earth to the west. Crime is rampant, tensions run a knife-edge, and only the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law!
