Leaders of prominent businesses including Mr Jones of Plastoid Industries had their children kidnapped and replaced by robots in order to gather corporate secrets.

Eccentric trillionaire Hugh Howards was revealed to be behind the plot when Judges Dredd and Giant raided his corporate headquarters. All children were safely returned but Howards fell to his death trying to escape.

Judge Giant was heard to say “Taste the strong right knuckle-sandwich of the law, dude!”

Brilliant opening. The lines “What are they doing to my boy?” “We’re trying to rip his head off ma’am.” Genius! A welcome return of Judge Giant.
