A Question about Judge Dredd Complete Case files #13 &14

Fragminion · 20 February, 2014, 07:46:36 PM

CCF#14 starts with The Tale of the Dead Man story and leads into The Necropolis Staroy Arc,
But CCF#13 ends with the A Letter to Judge Dredd. Is this intentional or was something skipped our left out of the CCF's?

'Tale of the Dead Man' is indeed the Dredd story directly following 'Letter...' so no episodes of 'Judge Dredd' have been skipped. But in order to follow what's going on, you need to read 'The Dead Man', a separate series collected in the 'Tales of the Dead Man' TPB.

That makes sense but then....WHY isn't it a part of the COMPLETE Case Files?

COMPLETE!!!!!! It means SOMETHING!

Dead Man wasn't published as a Dredd strip, hence it not being included.

Cheers

Only tangenitally relevant, but I put too much work into this not to wheel it out at every oppurtunity:

Yeah, what Jim said. The 'Complete' is only Judge Dredd titled stories. The Deadman was a Dreddworld story published at the same time as Judge Dredd titled stories and wasn't revealed to be about Dredd till the end.

And cool Graphic Dark Jimbo!

Yes cool and informative. WATTA COMBO!

Thanks for the chart Dark Jimbo! Nice work§

Great story map!

And about Dead man. It's a really good book, but you can read Necropolis perfectly fine without it. And about Chopper, you should stop reading it after Soul on fire and Song for the surfer (that serves as a perfect ending). The rest of it isn't very good.

Probably should've spoilered that.

Ta man - there've been many forum newbies asking where these various books fit in with the Case Files, so I thought something like this would be helpful. Very much still a work in progress - I've just noticed that the Batman crossovers are completely wrong, for instance. Die Laughing should actually dissapear off the bottom of the page!
