Download Batman: Judge Dredd - Die Laughing

The world of comic books has seen its fair share of crossovers between different series and characters, but few have been as iconic as the meeting of two British comics legends, Judge Dredd and Batman. 'Die Laughing' is a graphic novel that brings together the lawman of the future with the Dark Knight in a story that is both humorous and action-packed.

First published in 1998 as a two-part series, 'Die Laughing' was originally intended to be a standalone tale, but it has since been compiled into a graphic novel format. The story follows Judge Dredd as he travels to Gotham City to investigate a series of bizarre murders that have left the police baffled.

As Dredd delves deeper into the mystery, he crosses paths with Batman, who is equally determined to solve the case. Together, they form an unlikely alliance and work together to uncover the truth behind the murders.

The art in 'Die Laughing' is handled by two artists, Fabry and Murray, who do a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life. The story is full of humor and wit, with plenty of nods to both Judge Dredd's futuristic world and Batman's dark and gritty Gotham City.

One of the most interesting aspects of 'Die Laughing' is its use of satire. The story takes aim at a number of big brands, including McDonald's, Burger King, and Green Giant, using their logos and branding in humorous ways. However, this clever use of satire was not enough to save the series from a lawsuit filed by the companies themselves.

Despite this setback, 'Die Laughing' remains a beloved crossover event for fans of both Judge Dredd and Batman. The graphic novel collects the Judge Dredd strips from 2000 AD progs 61-115, providing readers with a comprehensive look at the lawman's earliest cases.

In addition to 'Die Laughing', the Judge Dredd series has seen many other crossovers over the years, including 'Judge Death' and 'Judgement on Gotham'. With its unique blend of humor and action, 'Die Laughing' is sure to delight fans of both comic book series.
