Judge Dredd has also had several card collections outside of the two card games listed. I am currently in possession of over 100 solely collectable cards mostly focused on the comics publication history. These cards are like other comic card collections at the time with one side featuring art with the other telling about the comic or art featured with "PROG #" letting you know where it goes in the collection.
I can't help but feel as if the merging of several of the more notable Dredd stories was unnecessary. Apocalypse War and America for example have both been written about quite extensively:
* Articles about Apocalypse War: [https://www.comicon.com/2021/01/07/review-essential-judge-dredd-the-apocalypse-war-is-still-one-of-the-best-of-the-epic-dredd-tales/ Essential Judge Dredd – The Apocalypse War’ Is Still One Of The Best Of The Epic Dredd Tales], [https://www.cbr.com/the-apocalypse-war-remains-the-definitive-judge-dredd-mega-epic/ 'The Apocalypse War' Remains the Definitive Judge Dredd Mega Epic]
* Articles about America: [https://www.howtolovecomics.com/2020/09/07/essential-judge-dredd-america/ America Is Even More Relevant 30 Years Later], [https://www.cbr.com/judge-dredd-america-essential/ America is the Essential Judge Dredd Story], [https://www.comicbooknews.co.uk/article/america-receiving-the-best-dredd-story-ever-made.html America is Receiving The Best Judge Dredd Story Ever Made], [http://sequart.org/magazine/70639/judge-dredd-america-as-critique-of-unethical-police-practises/ Judge Dredd: America as a Critique of Unethical Police Practises], [https://www.cbr.com/lost-judge-dredd-scripts-to-be-collected-in-america-lost-found/ Lost Judge Dredd Scripts to Be Collected in America: Lost & Found], [https://www.cbr.com/judge-dredd-america/ Judge Dredd America], [https://www.popmatters.com/judge-dredd-complete-america-2496004109.html The Complete America], [https://bleedingcool.com/comics/rebellion-announces-america-lost-found-the-rediscovered-scripts/ Rebellion Announces America: Lost & Found – The Rediscovered Scripts]
If these are not notable enough for separate articles, perhaps theirs a better way to organize them because the list of stories currently is a bit unwieldly.--[[User:Amelia-the-comic-geek|Amelia-the-comic-geek]] ([[User talk:Amelia-the-comic-geek|talk]]) 02:40, 17 December 2022 (UTC)


The series starts with The Cursed Earth storyline and includes others such as Judge Death Lives, The Apocalypse War, and Necropolis. PROG 90 in the series lists 5 other accompanying series and the cards in those collections, however because of the detailed artwork the list is printed over and only the series name being in bold text the individual card names can be hard to read.
== Age ==
I'm confused about the character's age.


Death Dimensions 1: Judge Death, Fire, Fear, and Mortis.
The article states "The first Dredd story, published in 1977, was set in 2099, 122 years in the future, and so stories published in 2023 are set 122 years in the future, in 2145 ... Therefore, Dredd was 38 when he first appeared, but is now 84 years old ... How Dredd's aging would be addressed was a source of reader speculation until 2016, when writer Michael Carroll and artist Ben Willsher published the story "Carousel", in which Dredd is ordered to undertake rejuvenation treatment."


Death Dimensions 2: Judge Death, Fire, Fear, and Mortis.
However, the article later summarises the story "The Carousel" thus: "In the year 2138, Joe Dredd - now 72 years old - is ordered to undergo another "rejuve treatment" at the Carousel Clinic (the first rejuve treatment happened soon after "Necropolis" due to his injuries in "The Dead Man", in the years 2112 when he was 46)".


Although they feature the same art one of the Death Dimentions series are foiled with a white background and golden font down the right side instead of silver font down the left.
Wouldn't he be 77 in 2138, not 72? Year of publication 2016 - first appearance 1977 = 39 years, + age on debut 38 = 77. Similarly, the age for the first rejuve treatment should be 51, not 46 (Year in the story 2112 - year of debut 2099 = 13, + age on debut 38 = 51).

Movie Preview Cards: Judge Dredd, ABC War Robot, and Mean Machine.

The Movie Preview Cards are not to be confused with the Movie Card Collection. Despite both using the same photo of Sylvester Stallone's Judge Dredd the 3 preview cards are all partially transparent with the subject being cut out from the movie background, given a clear one, a thin colored transparent boarder and a similar colored name tag at the bottom with a Judge badge in the left corner of the tag. Because these are preview cards they aren't perfect with the name tags having several problems. The Judge badge is hard to make out the finer detail of and the "Judge Dredd" text on it is too dark to contrast with the black line behind it making it hard to read. All three name tags have a color gradient that gets darker at the ends however Dredd's card is the only one with clear to make out text. ABC War Robot and Mean Machine's text does not consistently contrast enough with the gradient to make them easy to read at a glance. I do not know if this is a printing error with my card or because these are preview cards but my Mean Machine's card boarder is colored an obvious red while his name tag appears to be closer to a purple or dark pink.

A portion of these cards and series as well as others can be found at the link below from the trading card database.

=== I was wrong ===

Sorry the misinformation in my first post I was gifted these cards and don't know much about them.

After a search on ebay for the rest of the foil Death Dimensions card series I discovered that the coloring and legibility issues I mentioned about the 3 Movie Preview Cards might actually be problems with my cards only.

Also I don't know if this warrants mentioning but according to this article I found the old manufacturing prosses for foil cards can cause a specific printing error where two foil sheets meet. This might explain the prevalence of that error in the series compared to modern foil cards
