The Sleeper Wakes - Page 1

     The Sleeper by John Wagner and Geoff Senior brought Walter back from 
limbo.  Published in the Judge Dredd Yearbook 1992 it gave an extremely 
abbreviated version of where he had been the past ten years.  It also revealed
for the first time that the freedom Walter had thrown away back in Prog 60 had 
been restored for his aid in the war against the insane Chief Judge Cal.  If
he had attempted to give himself to Dredd a second time is unknown as is just 
when Dredd kicked him out.  We can only speculate. 
     The reunion began when producer Iggy Zeigler was murdered by a Q-19 
manservant robot accompanied by two bellhop droids.  Dredd destroyed one of 
the bellhops but the other two droids managed to escape after Q-19 threw their 
wrecked and burning car at him.  The smashed robot was identified as one of 
three reported stolen that morning from "Walt's Used Droid Lot".  A business
that had been founded in the wake of Necropolis two years earlier.
Impassive as ever Dredd went to investigate in person.
