I was actually just reading through the wikipedia summaries of the major arcs of Judge Dredd, so good timing on this. Do any authors try to get Dredd going all comic-book-hero and liberal and poo poo and just not get what Dredd's whole point is, or did they manage to keep him more-or-less on-task?

I'm reading the Case Files 1... Good god, did a lot of the early Dredd strips feel like some weird oldtimey Superman comic with more guns.

It's just strange considering how so many of the later comics and big stories(The Apocalypse War, Necropolis, etc) are super grim and dark.

I can definitely see how Dredd is a place where lots of these cliches started, rather than a place where they were repeated endlessly, though.
