Outcasts - Vol 1 - #7 - 1988 - Live on the Freak Show! - (VFN+)

A biting, hyper-cynical satire of media sensationalism and corporate exploitation wrapped inside a gritty cyberpunk action comic. Written by the powerhouse Judge Dredd team of Alan Grant and John Wagner, Outcasts #7 pulls back the curtain on the dystopian society’s obsession with violent entertainment. With Cam Kennedy providing his signature gritty, industrial aesthetic, "Live on the Freak Show!" stands as a dark, action-packed milestone issue where the team’s desperate fight for survival is turned into a televised, prime-time commodity.

In the corporate-controlled neon slums of the 21st century, human life is cheap, but high-stakes violence draws a massive television audience. The Outcasts—the genetically engineered and cybernetically augmented outcasts of society—have spent issues running from the law and corporate hit squads. In this issue, their luck finally runs out as they are cornered, captured, and thrust directly into the most depraved corner of the media landscape.
