Welcome Hazy, it seems that there are a lot of people (including me) who have returned to the world of Judge Dredd because of the new movie.

As for what stories to read I'm sure more knowledgeable people here will provide you with a comprehensive list of what you should read, but I would suggest Origins as a good starting point as it covers Dredd's background

Welcome aboard and have fun...

Though I do wonder what EFC stands for...???

[hazy efc]

take a guess i think u no lol 

[Colin YNWA]

Well I'm sure you're lovely anyway!

Hi hazy efc, have to agree with Sedgendary about Origins, it was one of the first things I've read as I'm also getting back into Dredd. I also had a read of America (from the Megazine) which is a very different kind of story but says a lot about Dredds world. Of course I'm new too and there will be advice from people who are real experts so heed their wise words and you can't go wrong - enjoy

You're not the first person to comment on 'that' Stallone thing putting them off IIRC, it must have had a real bad affect on 2000AD readership!

Origins is a good place to start then move forward through the stories.
To catch up with what you've missed before then the Case Files are exactly what you need.

[Sedgendary]

Yeah I'm going through the Case Files now and the first few volumes are pretty cheap on amazon.co.uk

It's interesting to see how much the character has evolved since the begging. Though it is a bit daunting going through 35 years of comics though as some of these strips are older than me
