About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The essential Judge Dredd graphic novel series—the ultimate introduction to the Lawman of the Future!

An unusual delivery is made to the Grand Hall of Justice, a package that will force Dredd to lead a mission into the Cursed Earth and into the darkest recesses of the history of the Judges and Mega-City One...

Now in this much-anticipated Dredd epic, history is written by Dredd co-creators John Wagner (A History of Violence) and Carlos Ezquerra (Strontium Dog) with a special introductory tale featuring the art of Kev Walker (ABC Warriors: Khronicles of Khaos).

Featuring Adam Basil as Judge Dredd alongside a full cast including Stuart Milligan, Colin Salmon and Doug Cockle, fans of Judge Dredd and newcomers to Mega-City One alike will be transported to this post-nuclear world for an immersive listening experience like no other.

Also available:

Judge Dredd: Dredd v Death

Judge Anderson: Shamballa

It's great to see that feedback has been taken on board with the latest lot of audiobooks, though I would have liked to see Fiennes stay in the role as Old Stoney Face. Origins is a very wide-reading, very difficult tale to adapt and, I think, very easy to mess up. Thankfully, this one hits most of the beats perfectly.

The bits of narrative help a ton in directing the story, Adam Basil makes a suitably grim Joe and Fargo felt very authoritative. It's not the most nuanced adaptation, but it felt very true to the story and makes for a really engaging listen.

I really hope there's more to come - this was a winner.

A great adaptation of one of the ultimate Dredds

tbh I'm not the biggest Dredd fan so I can't review to much from a authenticity point of view but has a decent cast & well acted and seems to have the "Dredd feel" in narration

Decent audiobook

compelling storyline, touches of classic Wagnerian dark humour and perfect characterisation , Orginis has it all tbh. and at over 2.5 hours value too!

one of the new classics

Love that these Dredd stories are now being made in to audiobooks and this version is a step forward in terms of production. However, I have to say I prefer the Year One audiobook by Michael Carroll in terms of capturing the heart, intelligence and wit of the old 2000AD Dredd stories.

Good stuff but I prefer the Year One adaptation

A good read & a brilliant listen, this is a solid adaptation a sound sectioned if voice actors & drama styled soundtrack. Worth it
