Notes Only the first two pages are in colour. This is one of very few vintage Judge Dredd stories never to have been reprinted, with the owners of the trademarked characters used not happy and only agreeing not to take any further action after an agreement that the stories would never see print again. More recently legal letters have been sent to webpages presenting the story online.
