This is the very first time the complete set of League of Fatties stories have been brought together under one cover - if one cover can hold them!

FAT FICTION!

In the nightmarish metropolis of the future known as Mega-City One, boredom drives many of the unemployed citizens to invest their time in a variety of different hobbies, including eating. As a result, a new subculture of gluttonous, gargantuans have emerged. Nicknamed ‘fatties’, these blubbery boys and girls compete in the Intercity Eating Championships to be the biggest and the best citizens ever to use a bellywheel.

From 25 kilo pies to 24 ton mopads, when the hunger pangs kick in, a fatty will eat anything!

This gut-busting collection of stories from John Wagner (Al’s Baby) and Alan Grant (Lobo), features the stunning art of Carlos Ezquerra (Adventures in the Rifle Brigade), Mike McMahon (Ro-Busters) and Cam Kennedy (Star Wars: Dark Empire), and is guaranteed to leave you wanting more!

I loved this. In case you aren't familiar with 2000AD and Judge Dredd, Fatties are small storylines within the comics, and this is a compilation of those comics, some of which are extended short stories such as the one about the child that is forcefully entered into eating competitions because he has the ability to detach his lower jaw.

'Fat Shaming' with a uniquely British, uniquely subversive character

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2017

As I write this review in February 2017, it was [corrected] 40 (!) years ago, in February 1977, that the very first issue of ‘2000 AD’ comics was published.

No one knew it at the time, but ‘2000 AD’ – a ‘budget’ comic printed in black and white, using letterpress on cheap paper – eventually would not only revolutionize comics in the UK, but comics worldwide.

Judge Dredd debuted in issue two of ‘2000 AD’, published in March 1977. From the start, the writers for Judge Dredd: John Wagner, Alan Grant, and Pat Mills – had no qualms about imbuing the strip with heavy doses of satire, often with an edge that could seem positively vicious to those not familiar with the quirky nature of British humor.

Starting in 1981, with the strip ‘Anatomy of a Crime’ (that appeared in the Judge Dredd Annual 1982), the 2000 AD writers took aim at obesity, returning to the theme over the ensuing years with what could best be called an unrestrained, politically incorrect glee. More perspicacious readers took note that this treatment was, in a carefully understated way, a dig at American pop culture and its burgeoning problems with obesity.

‘Judge Dredd: Fatties’ compiles all of these ‘Fat Shaming’ strips published from 1981 – 2013.

Reading these comics in February 2017, a month in which a newspaper columnist for the (Minnesota) Fergus Falls Daily Journal newspaper was fired for publishing a sarcastic column about sitting next to an obese man on an airline flight, is to dive deep into material that likely would never see the light of day by any US comic book publisher.

The ‘fatties’ in these Judge Dredd strips are unashamed gluttons who compete in clandestine eating contests even as the population of Mega-City One endures rationing. Strip after strip depicts fatties running amok on food transports, vomiting to free up stomach space, receiving injections of appetite enhancers in order to expand their capacities, eating Winnebagos (?!) and – in some instances- deploying detachable lower jaws in order to cram more food into their ravenous maws.

These strips all are outrageously insulting to obese people.

And they’re also laugh-out-loud funny !

In an era in which American publishers are issuing comic books featuring fat heroines (DC’s ‘Faith’), ‘Judge Dredd: Fatties’ is about as subversive as mainstream comic collection can be.

You owe it to yourself to pick this trade paperback up………before it’s banned !

I like The dredd universe but this book was not as good as I remember it was 20+ years ago when I first read it.. it’s a little juvenile compared to current series ;)

Full fat thrill-power from the 2000AD archives

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 17, 2013

Verified Purchase

Starting off with the classic Cam Kennedy cover from 2000AD #441, this is a great little collection of Judge Dredd stories featuring the fatties. Futuristic police officer Judge Dredd enforces the law and attempts to avoid being squashed by overweight perps when legal and illegal eating contests create havoc. As is usual with Judge Dredd, there is plenty of humour as Dredd encounters characters like Tubb O'Lard, Two Tonne Tony Tubbs and Starvin Marvin.

The tales included here were originally presented in the galaxy's greatest comic, 2000AD, the Judge Dredd Megazine and a couple of Judge Dredd annuals. Whilst some of the stories are more recent, the earliest fatty tales are now more than 20 years old. Writing is provided by Alan Grant and John Wagner while the artwork is from a panel of top artists such as Carlos Ezquerra, Mick McMahon, Ron Smith, John Higgins and the aforementioned Mr Kennedy. One small quibble with the 2000AD collections is that the page size is slightly smaller than the original issues and the art size is therefore reduced. That aside, I really appreciated this collection and recommend it highly.
