American Reaper (UK Market)

Published in Judge Dredd Megazine, American Reaper is a creator owned series created by Pat Mills and Clint Langley. It means that both authors detained the copyright through their company Repeat Offenders Ltd (in association with Xingu Films Ltd for American Reaper). Note that Fey Dalton assists Clint Langley on numerous illustrations.

This is the pitch as it appears in JDM summary: "New York City, 2062. Fifty years in the future, identity theft has taken a new and deadly twist - victims have their minds and personalities erased and their bodies stolen by the elderly rich seeking another chance of youth, or by criminals and terrorists with even more sinister motives. A team of special agents, known as Reapers, has been formed to hunt down those that have illegally transplanted their identities into others and terminate them with extreme prejudice...".

American Reaper was first presented at ComicCon 2010 with 8 preview pages in Comics Heroes Sci Fi magazine.

The first story, 'American Reaper', has been run through November 2011 to March 2012 (click on the caption or prog number in the list to reach the associated file):
