ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In today's episode, Jared is joined by Sam, his co-host on Read the Run. For today's discussion Jared and Sam compare and contrast V for Vendetta to 2000 A.D.'s Judge Dredd. Specifically, we take a look at John Wagner's "America" storyline and put it under the scalpel to examine how Wagner and Alan Moore tackle topics of facism and authoritarianism in their storytelling.
How do the two stories compare and how do they differ? And, whether or not, despite being reactions to the former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her government, if the stories are still relevant today.
