The Mega-Rackets storyline continues with the first part of The Numbers Racket. We start off with a mob hit where we see some poor schmuck getting twatted by a truck carrying acid. The driver gets out to finish the job by giving him an acid shower. Dredd arrives sharpish and causes the acid dispensing fella to get  shower of his own and tasks the Forensic Squad to identify the perp before he dissolves completely.

As well as a fantastic overall visual treat, we get a rare glimpse of Dredd‘s steel buns as he walks towards the Academy of Law to gain some assistance from Judge-Professor Burroughs, an expert on the Numbers Racket…

Prog 218 dissolved! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 219.
