Rank the Dredd epics!

Has the Cursed earth just not been collected before or has it had the stories/sections concerned omitted?
I thought that there were crucial elements of the story contained in there, the introduction and possibly exit of central characters.
I've had the story as cbr files and not read it in a couple of years but though t that unless thes story was creatively edited it would be difficult for it to make as much sense with thiongs from there included.

I take it that the Matchbox reproductions in the artwork are ok? & Green Giant wasn't the only brand icon reproduced in that section.

I was also just thinking earlier when I first heard the story was being reprinted uncensored that Burger King and McDonalds weren't the only burger chains likely to be big enough to be battling in the midwest or wherever that was actually supposed to be. but they were the 2 brands that had been beginning to make inroads in the UK. I would have been very young and not visiting the centre of London very frequently but I don't think McDonalds had appeared much before around '75 or '76. I assume Burger King was appearing around the same time, not sure though.

Well, guess I'm glad I haven't yet repurchased the early Case Files volumes I sold during leaner times.

I was flipping through the current B&W reprint omniba at ny comic con and was kind of tempted by the bolland heavy ones but tbh I do not love the repro quality

I always wondered what the story was on the vehicles used as the main expedition transport. I think I had had a set of them prior to the beginning of the story, got given them for Xmas one year. Though maybe I just wasn't paying much attention to the comic, I think i have several editions from the story but not all and not sure if I repicked up buying the comic or was just picking up a few randomly.
Anyway there is that vehicle pack used regularly and there is also at least one depiction of a wider range of matchbox vehicles at one point.

There was apparently a competition for winning the set at the start of the story.

in other words, if these links work for me

I still have them somewhere in the house I think, I will check the dates on the bottom but I'm sure they came out beforehand as well. (The reason is I'm confident I was surprised when I saw it in Cursed Earth, which I wouldn't have been if I wasn't familiar with them.)

Posting in belated defense of Ron Smith, who brings a hallucinatory weirdness to his stories and really nails the grotesque qualities of Mega City One. Especially good during the Judge Cal stuff. In a way he is the best Dredd artist.
