That story made me think of “You’re the Reason Our Kids are Ugly” by Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn. I have to wonder why they didn't just put him in the shadows since that would be easier than making a fake censor bar. Now that I know the whole story I have to say it's a shame how the whole face thing turned out. As for the Burned Man story, I haven't read it myself but it's great that they did a different story with a great surprise at the end.

I appreciate your insight on the topic. Dang, they're all crazy in that universe! I checked out the book 500 Comic Book Villains by Mike Conroy and there were entries on Judge Caligula, Mean Machine Angel, and the Dark Judges. Dang, just... dang. Wasn't there a great scene, though, in which Judge Dredd punched one of the Dark Judges through the face?
