Short stories set in the Dredd universe, including the origin of Ma-Ma who was in the movie Dredd.  Beautifully written, gorgeously illustrated, these touch upon what justice is in an dystopian universe, and how the judges cope and stay straight - or not.  

Not only looking like a French "bande dessinée" but dealing with a popular subject in that genre, the story of the Cathare heresy, this comic collection then introduces monsters into the plot for the crusaders to fight. Alien technology is involved but the brave knights fight on with heavy losses.

Nicely-illustrated and engagingly written, this book is a good introduction to the historical comic genre. The French are way ahead in this type but this is recommended to all.

Containing all 3 story arcs, this black-and-white collection is simply illustrated. The first story deals with a TV news team treading where they shouldn't as they explore a story about space travel in the late 1950s with dramatic consequences. The second arc is set in a more modern era, present day, and deals with an entrepreneur's quest to go to the Moon and the news crew from the first arc end up accompanying him. The third arc set further into the future in a bar on the Moon has locals telling tales about events connected to the two previous arcs.

The language is full of slang so, if English isn't your first language (particularly US English), this may prove to be challenging. The black-and-white illustrations didn't work for me as they were not detailed enough: I'm too old-fashioned and like colour and detail!
