Synopsis for "Judge Dredd: Bob & Carol & Ted & Ringo (part 1)"[]

Irrawaddy Skinner, a showman who dresses like Uncle Sam, has brought his Cursed Earth dinosaurs to Mega-City One so he can charge people to see them. One of them is spooked by photographers and brought under control by an electric shock from its collar. David Baloney, a wildlife expert, narrates a short documentary about how dinosaurs were cloned and went feral after the Atom War. Skinner's four great carnivorous dinosaurs are very unhappy at being caged and keep hurting themselves. The showman tells his robot assistant, Granville, that it doesn't matter if they kill themselves because there's plenty more where they came from. Granville feels compassion for the captives and wants to get them back in the Cursed Earth somehow.

Synopsis for "Rogue Trooper: The Gasbah (part 4)"[]

The Norts who have captured Rogue inexplicably decide to:
(a) Tell him all the details of their scheme to take Kyro.
(b) Keep him alive instead of killing him immediately before he can comprehensively thwart their evil plan, as he has done dozens of times in the past.
(c) Put him in the same cellar where they are storing thousands of bottles of oxygen.
Bagman collaborates with the Rondonians, aliens whom the Norts have overlooked because they look like fungi, to smuggle a sealburster bomb to Rogue. The GI can use it to blow up all the oxygen and — you guessed it — comprehensively thwart the Norts' evil plan. But will he be able to tell the Southers and aliens in Kyro to take cover first?
