The world beyond Mega City One.

[leebrown1990]

I'm a big fan of travelling; recently I visted Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos, with hopes of doing mainland China or Japan in the next couple of years. I'm really intrested in Asian culture and I'm really enjoying the Shimura trade, and the Hondo City and Hong Tong stories appearing in the Meg recently.

Anyway I was just wondering what information is avaiable (i.e is there a Judge Dredd encylopdia sort of thing?) or what stories there are there that include Sino City Two, Inodnesia, the Mongolian Exclusion Zone, Bangkok and the Radlands of Ji etc. There seems to be so many potential stories here, but I've never seen anything about them.

On a similar note, what about Indo-City/ Nu-Dehli and the recent Siku interview in the Meg made me quite intrested in the Pan African Judge series, is it any good?

Cheers,

I'm pretty sure there's a 'Judges of the World' type article in one of the yearbooks/specials (possibly with Brendan McCarthy illustrations) - there's also a Dredd world map in the Anderson story Shamballa. There's many world judges in the dredd story Crusade, which is pretty much regarded as one of the worst Dredd stories ever published (even by Tharg).

None that I can think of.

It's not well regarded. The Judge Dredd/Devlin Waugh crossover story Fetish is worth a read though - that's set in Africa. It's in the first (I think) Devlin Waugh trade, but the repro in that is horrible - Hamlyn collected it many years ago and the repro and colour is lush so that's the one to get.

There's also the story Book of the Dead which is set in Egypt. It's crap, though.

No stories set in Indo-Cit that I can think of - there was an Indian Psi judge in the dredd story Inferno, but ISTR (and I may be wrong) that he had a quite offensive name (Bhaji?).

The "Pre-emptive Revenge" audio drama is set in the Radlands of Ji, isn't it?

Never heard them - not my cup of tea.

I suppose the last few episodes of Judgement Day are set in the Radlands.

There's the A-Z of Judge Dredd.

Wow, Garageman, thanks for that. Got to go to work now :-(, but I'll have a good look through in the morning.

There's a brief bit about the terraforming of the Radlands of Ji in a recent-ish Shimura story.

This is the most up-to-date version of the map that was worked on in that second thread:

Sov Blok territory looking a bit more habitable there than I'd really imagined it.

Also: Seattle is a Dreddworld city?

REMINDER TO ONESELF: I still have to edit that Map.

Liking the map Emperor. Shame there aren't any stories, but ripe pickings for Fan-Fic.
