Judge Dredd
Anthrax, "I Am the Law"
During their initial blast upwards, Anthrax launched a series of fun-oriented metal trends ranging from Hawaiian shorts to skateboarding to comic books. Their love of Judge Dredd was no put-on, either. Drummer Charlie Benante had dreams of becoming a comic book artist, and the original release of "I Am the Law" was packaged in a massive fold-out Dredd poster drawn by Benante (and featuring a throwaway rap pisstake called "I'm the Man" buried on the B-side).
