== Should we have more about the Red Razors spin off here? == 

 It might be worth commenting that the Soviet Judge society initially portrayed in Red Razors was effectively a mirror image of Mega-City One's: there Democracy was encouraged. mutations were not only tolerated but purposely created (mostly to recreate Western TV characters-such as the group of kids who patterned themselves after the Scooby Doo gang who even had their dog genetically engineered so it could talk), and Judges are mind altered criminals.  That it takes place 50 years later than the standard Judge Dread stories is not make real clear giving some readers (like myself when I first read it) the mistaken feeling that it is contemporaneous with the Judge Dread stories we are familiar with.  This is just reinforced by the fact that Dread himself shows up later on in the series.
