Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching.

This viciously satirical take on modern perceptions of Ennis’ homeland sees Dredd head across the Atlantic to an Ireland turned into a country-sized theme park. It includes his first work with future Preacher collaborator Steve Dillon – The Emerald Isle. Packed with violent and darkly witty tales, here are the seeds of Ennis’ future success as he takes over his childhood icon from creator John Wagner. Now, his best work on the legendary lawman of British comics, Judge Dredd, has been collected together for the first time in a new book for North American readers.
