The reader is taken through America's life from her birth (witnessed by the infant Bennett) to her childhood and days as a university student. (The woman is shown looking in a dressing room mirror.) A voice-over from Bennett Beeny tells the reader that this is a story about how he loved a woman called America and still loves her even though the light has gone from her eyes. It was illustrated by Colin MacNeil and lettered by Annie Parkhouse, and was eventually followed by a sequel, The Fading of the Light.Ī young woman with long black hair is shown getting ready to sing on stage. John Wagner wrote America to try to show readers that Judge Dredd is actually a strip about what it is like to live under a fascist, totalitarian regime.
The harsh, repressive law-enforcement system embodied by Judge Dredd leads both of them down a dark road culminating in despair and death.
Its subject was the effect of growing up in Mega-City One on two initially ordinary citizens, America Jara and Bennett Beeny. America is a Judge Dredd story that was published in Judge Dredd Megazine 1.01 to 1.07, in 1990.
