She didn’t realize, though, that it would take on historical significance, too, paving the way for a generation of women artists concerned with their own representation, as well as in conversations of race and relationships to boot. Obsessive in telling the story of the woman she was playing-whom we follow through the course of relationships with her lover, her friends, and her daughter-Weems knew the series would be important to her.

Stumbling onto Judge Dredd recently made me want to go back and relive at least the 1980s for my weekly fix. Judge Dredd features were hot off the press during my whole adult life, and I had no idea.
