Title: Dredd story confusion?
Post by: klute on 17 June, 2009, 07:39:32 PM
Back again for more help :( i vaguely remember a story line in the 80's or early 90's were some samurai looking officers were bad guys? at the end of the story i think(think) that dredd killed there leader?? and escaped via a hole in a mountain? like a bat out of hell..

These officers/bad guys had samurai looking armour the design of there outfits looked japanese so forgive me if you dont know what the hell i mean its a been a long time.

Any info or the story name,prog numbers etc you can give would be great

Sounds to me like you mean Oz - Dredd trying to escape the Judda in the bowels of Ayers Rock.

Or was it this earlier one? Giant magic samurai conjured by rogue sorcerer from the Radlands of Ji. The head of psi-div, Judge Omar, sacrifices his life  to beat the baddies by increasing his abilities with a lethal psi-amplifier.

The seven samurai great story. Cam at his best, loved the sword cleaving through the manta.
Deffo OZ story what you are after. I would put my fertility on it.

Or the Millar build up to the never-told Sin-Cit invasion?

Or the ropey Judda tale in a summer special, where alternative dimension Judda teleport in and are kicked around the place by Dredd before they decide to invade somewhere else?
