Artist Simon Coleby shines in a couple of the shorts (‘My Beautiful Career’ and ‘It’s Your Funeral, Creep!’) and another Simon, Mr Davis, provides his usually impressive art for the Gorden Rennie-penned ‘Prodigal’. John Wagner writes for the dream team of Cam Kennedy and Henry Flint to illustrate, and it looks just as good as you’d expect. Some of the longer – Megazine – one-part stories deserving a mention include ‘Turkey Shoot’, a delight from start to finish, with laughs aplenty. Spoofing Ozzy Osbourne’s reality-TV show is the type of thing that often dates badly and writer Alan Grant and artist Ian Gibson’s satire is heavy-handed and poorly executed. ‘At Home With The Snozzburns’ is outstanding for all the wrong reasons. Many of the short tales are pretty unremarkable, with some exceptions. Fourteen are one-part tales, though for the Megazine stories that can mean anything from twelve to sixteen pages.

The Complete Case Files 39 contains nineteen stories, ten from 2000 AD, and nine from its companion title, the Judge Dredd Megazine.
