Gaps In My Collection/Happenings In The Dreddverse

[Pioneer]

Hi guys, my first post here!

I've just rediscovered my Dredd trade collection where I attempted to collect pretty much everything Dreddverse - Case Files, trades, spin-offs, back issues of 2000ad and the Meg etc and got myself up to early 2015 when I cancelled my subscription (The Dark Judges 'Dark Justice' had just started).

I painstakingly created a list of the order of all the Dredd stories and the years in which they happened which I would be more than happy to post if anyone's interested!

I'm really interested in getting everything I've missed up until now so if anyone can fill in the blanks I would massively appreciate it! I know there have been a few collections released - Cold Wars, The Small House, Mechanismo: Machine Law etc) but not sure in which order they would fit in the timeline.

Are there any other significant things that have happened since the whole Day Of Chaos saga?

Also there were a few spin-offs being released such as Insurrection, Mega City Undercover etc so would be keen to know what else has been released in the meantime also.

Thanks massively much in advance!

The Small House, 2100-2109
Machine Law, 2115-2122

You can find out a lot about the order of things from Barney, which is accurate at the moment up to 2174.

[broodblik]

Trifecta, 1803 – 1812 (this story also includes story-lines from Low Life and The Simping Detective)
Titan, 1862 – 1869
Enceladus (New Life), 1924 – 1928
Enceladus (Old Life), 1940 – 1947

Titan and Enceladus you can see as one big story arc

As Funt Solo says Barney is your friend.

For wider Dredd world I don't think it's too controversial to say Lawless is the best of the wider Dredd world stuff. Follows on from Insurrection but is very different beast.

Welcome aboard and good luck catching up.

The Small House, 2100-2109
Machine Law, 2115-2122

Thanks Funt Solo.

So if The Small House and Machine Law are set in 2100-2109 and 2115-2122, am I likely to already have those stories in other collections?

I already have the original Mechanismo Rebellion trade, does this new one essentially just collect that?

Ah that's great thanks massively broodblik!

Are you able to let me know the other trades released since 2015 that I need to get and the order in which the stories appear? I know there's a few other like 'Cold Wars' and 'End Of Days' etc

[broodblik]

In many cases the trades contains similar themed stories or stories grouped  by a main story arc. So reading them in chronological order is not always possible but my best guess is to read it in the following order:

Trifecta - https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/graphic-novels/more-dredd/XB476
Titan - https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/graphic-novels/more-dredd/XB573
Every Empire Falls- https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/graphic-novels/more-dredd/XB602
Col Wars - https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/graphic-novels/more-dredd/XB656

Again, thanks massively!

Can I be a nuisance and ask where Control fits in? Also I read somewhere there's a Wagner penned story where a ring with special powers is found by a salvaging mutant or something?

[broodblik]

Control I will put after The Small house but their is some of  the stories within the collection that is before that time slot. This collection is also more about the awesome artists Chris Weston and his collaboration with Rob Williams.

It contains the following stories:
The Fields Prog 2035-2036 (the start of Judge Pin story arc)
Fit For Purpose Prog 2073-2074 (continue with the Judge Pin story arc)
Control Prog 2141-2145 (the last part of Judge Pin story arc)
The Heart is a Loney Klegg Hunter Prog 1888-1889 (a story about a sensitive Klegg)
Boxing Day Prog 2011 (a Christmas story)
Elevator Pitch Prog 2088-2089 (a story about an ape gang)
Death of Dan-E Cannon Prog 1800 (written and drawn by Chris Weston)
Cadet Dredd vs Grudzilla Prog 2130 (this was also written adn dran by Chris Weston by it is about Dredd when he was a Cadet, it appeared in the first ever Regen Prog (not the FCBD ones))

That's the Dead Zone:

You can find out a lot about the order of things from Barney, which is accurate at the moment up to 2174.

Almost accurate. It lists Karl Stock with the artists instead of the writers, and lists someone called Katy Rex who has no credited work.

Katy Rex wrote the Tyranny Rex in the 2018 Sci-Fi Special. The real problem is that none of specials have been updated since 2016.

[Funt Solo]

I have some data. A grey row is non-strip content like a floating cover or a poster (or teaser) or article.

These are all under the Judge Dredd banner.

This doesn't help with where these got reprinted, but it does show you publication order (although I've separated out prog, meg & specials in each year).

Lovely stuff thanks Richard.

Can I ask where in the Timeline The Dead Zine fits in?

That's absolutely amazing work!

A few of those stories are collected in the trades I've noticed, is there anything in there that would be deemed absolutely essential in regards to the overall Dredd timeline?

I used to enjoy sourcing back issues to make sure I had certain stories that were relevant to the overall narrative, such as Regime Change etc
