The Savage Amusement is an original novel written by David Bishop and based on the long-running British science fiction comic strip Judge Dredd. At the time of publication (1993) Bishop was editor of the Judge Dredd Megazine.

Synopsis

Rookie Judge Harry Brisco is taking his gruelling final assessment to decide if he is fit to be a full street judge, and Judge Dredd is assigned as the supervisor who can make or break him. As they hit the streets a mystery virus begins killing all the clones in the city – and Dredd himself is a clone. Meanwhile, Mega-City One is about to hold an election for its new mayor, and opinion polls indicate that undead mass-murderer Judge Death may win. Brisco is about to face the toughest challenge of his life.

Continuity

Brisco first appeared as a cadet in the 1985 story Thirteenth Assessment in 2000 AD #421, written by John Wagner and Alan Grant.
