Comments:

This book is the French adaptation of The Cursed Earth Uncensored published by Rebellion in 2016 in hardcover and paperback form. Therefore, it is not a complete translation of Judge Dredd The Complete Case Files 02 published in the UK in 2006 (although they share the same overall cover design). Indeed, it only features the Cursed Earth story.

This French reprint is the first to feature the so called banned episodes, Burger Wars written by john Wagner, and Soul Food written by Chris Lowder (aka Jack Adrian). It shares the same content to the deluxe paperback edition :

• Two new chapter breaks design
• Two new introductions by John Wagner and Chris Lowder dated May 2016
• Colored prog covers from 2000 AD #61, 63, 66, 69, 72, 74, 75, 77, 79, 82, 83, 85 (cover for prog #74 and #82 where not included in the UK hardcover edition)
• A B&W illustration from Brian Bolland uses as opening page for the 1994 Titan reprint, and three B&W poster illustrations
• Colored Tweak Star-scan from  2000 AD #83 by Brian Bolland
• Virgin cover illustration for the paperback edition by Mike McMahon
• IPC retractation strip illustrated by Brett ewins, published in 2000 AD #84
• The new Brian Bolland cover produced for the UK hardcover edition
• A two pages Cursed Earth B&W map
• Collored full covers of 1982 Titan reprints (part 1 by Brian Bolland and part 2 by Mike McMahon) used as second and third of cover in the UK hardcover edition (see below)

Notice that this French edition is quite oversized than the UK hardcover version (and printed too on thick white glossy paper). It also features a detailed summary.
