Hello all (Dredd newbie)

[James Stacey]

There is a one off that implies the Brit Cit'ers at least still think of them as 'Americans' Mega City One, (and most of the other Mega Cities) are more like the Greek idea of a City State.

I think a lot should become clear when you read the America graphic novel, which explores the concept of democracy and liberty in Dredd's world.

Of course; I forgot there was a graphic novel actually titled 'America' 

From what I've heard that's the best story in the entire Dredd collection (despite him not being in it very much), so much so that it may lessen the enjoyment of the older stories. I'll probably want to check that one out only after I've got some Case Files under my belt first, as I'm a stickler for chronology when it comes to these things

Welcome to the forum; as for the comics, there's a lot of good stuff to catch up on - have fun
