Judge Dredd

Story:

"The Sleeper Awakes": in Fort Knox vault, the Hillbillies are about to kill the last president of the United States who is in cryogenic suspended animation. Back in 2070, he was tried before a grand council of Judges and found guilty of war crimes for having started the atomic wars. He was sentenced to one hundred years of suspended animation (the famous "Judgement of Solomon"). Now that he is awake, he's sentenced to life working in a farm for the Hillbillies (as well as the three robots) (7 pages).

Comments:

The three robots are named "Snap", "Crackle" and "Pop". The name of the last president of the United State is Robert L. Booth. Pat Mills established here an important event in the mythology of the Judges system.
