Welcome to a new season of Script & Pencils from The Comic Crush! In our first episode of 2023, Paul talks to Michael Molcher, about his brilliant new book, I Am The Law: How Judge Dredd predicted our future. In this excellent tome, Michael discusses blending comic book history with contemporary radical theories on policing, taking key Dredd stories from the last 45 years, demonstrating how they provide a unique wake-up call about our gradual, and not so gradual, slide towards authoritarian policing. From the politicisation of policing to ‘zero tolerance’, from violent suppression of protest to the rise of the surveillance state, I Am The Law examines how a comic book warned us about the chilling endgame of today's 'law and order' politics. Michael opens up about the experience of writing I am The Law. You can join Michael for a signing at Gosh! Comics on 11th February, so come along and grab a copy.
