Publication history

When Pat Mills was developing 2000 AD, he brought in his former writing partner, John Wagner, to develop characters. Wagner had written various Dirty Harry-style "tough cop" stories for other titles, and suggested a character who took that concept to its logical extreme, imagining an ultra-violent lawman patrolling a future New York City with the power to administer instant justice. Dirty Harry is a 1971 Crime film produced and directed by Don Siegel. The City of New York Mills had developed a horror strip called Judge Dread but abandoned the idea as unsuitable for the new comic, but the name, with minor modification, was adopted by Wagner for his ultimate lawman. Horror fiction is broadly Fiction in any medium intended to scare unsettle or horrify the audience

The task of visualising the character was given to Carlos Ezquerra, a Spanish artist who had worked for Mills before on Battle Picture Weekly. Carlos Sanchez Ezquerra (born November 1947 in Zaragoza) who has also worked under the alias L Battle Picture Weekly, at various time also known as Battle Action Force, Battle and Battle with Storm Force Wagner gave Ezquerra an advertisement for the film Death Race 2000, showing the character Frankenstein clad in black leather on a motorbike, as a suggestion for what the character should look like. Death Race 2000 is a cult action Film directed by Paul Bartel, and starring David Carradine, Simone Griffeth Ezquerra elaborated on this greatly, adding body-armour, zips and chains, which Wagner initially thought over the top. Wagner's initial script was rewritten by Mills and drawn up by Ezquerra, but when the art came back a rethink was necessary. The hardware and cityscapes Ezquerra had drawn were far more futuristic than the near-future setting originally intended, but Mills decided to run with it and set the strip further into the future. [2]

By this stage, however, Wagner had quit, disillusioned that a proposed buy-out (which would have given him and Mills a greater financial stake in the comic) had fallen through. Mills was reluctant to lose Judge Dredd and farmed the strip out to a variety of freelance writers, hoping to develop it further. Their scripts were given to a variety of artists as Mills tried to find a strip which would provide a good introduction to the character, all of which meant that Dredd would not be ready for 2000 AD's first issue, launched in February 1977. The original launch story written by Wagner and drawn by Ezquerra was finally published several years later in an annual.

The story chosen to introduce the character was submitted by Peter Harris, extensively re-written by Mills, and including an idea suggested by sub-editor Kelvin Gosnell. It was drawn by newcomer Mike McMahon. Michael (known as Mike or Mick) McMahon is a British Comics Artist best known for his work on 2000 AD characters In it, Dredd brought to justice a criminal who had murdered another Judge and was hiding out in the ruins of the Empire State Building. The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco Skyscraper in New York City at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street The story introduced the motifs that would mark out Dredd: novel future crimes are resolved by hi-tech police procedure, with Dredd delivering a severe punishment. In this case, the villain is banished to a penal colony located on a traffic island. The strip debuted in prog 2, but Ezquerra, angry that another artist had drawn the first published strip, quit and returned to work for Battle. Wagner, however, soon swallowed his pride and returned to the character, starting in prog 9. His "Robot Wars" storyline was drawn by a rotating team of artists, including McMahon, Ezquerra, Ron Turner and Ian Gibson, and marked the point where Dredd became the most popular character in the comic, a position he has rarely relinquished. Ron Turner (1922 – December 19, 1998) was a British illustrator and Comic book artist. Ian Gibson is a British Comic book Artist, best known for his 1980s Black-and-white work for 2000 AD. Dredd's city, which now covered most of North America's east coast, became known as Mega-City One. Mega-City One is a huge fictional City-state covering much of what is now the Eastern United States in the Judge Dredd Comic book

The character has appeared in almost every issue since, the bulk of the stories written by Wagner (between 1980 and 1988, in collaboration with Alan Grant). Alan Grant (born 1949 is a Scottish Comic book writer known for writing Judge Dredd in 2000 AD as well as various Other illustrators of the strip have included Brian Bolland, Ron Smith, Steve Dillon and Cam Kennedy.

Since 1990 Dredd has also headlined his own title, the Judge Dredd Megazine. Judge Dredd Megazine is a monthly British Comic magazine, launched in October 1990. With Wagner concentrating his energies there, the Dredd strip in 2000 AD was left to younger writers such as Garth Ennis, Mark Millar, Grant Morrison and John Smith. Garth Ennis (born January 16, 1970 in Holywood, Northern Ireland) is an Irish Comics writer best known for the DC Mark Millar (born December 24 1969 is an award-winning Scottish Graphic novelist born in Coatbridge. Grant Morrison (born January 31 1960 is a Scottish Comic book writer and artist John Smith is a British Comics writer best known for his work on 2000 AD and Crisis. Their efforts were not popular with fans, and sales fell. Wagner returned to writing the character full-time in 1997. Recently, many strips have been written by Gordon Rennie, and in interviews Rennie and Wagner have indicated that there is a plan for Wagner to retire once Rennie has established himself. Gordon Rennie is a former music journalist turned Comics writer responsible for White Trash Moronic Inferno, as well as several Comic strips for

Senior Judge Joe Dredd, one of a number of clones of Chief Judge Eustace Fargo, is the most famous of the elite corps of Judges that run Mega-City One with the power not only to enforce the law, but also to instantly sentence offenders – and (if necessary) execute them. Cloning in Biology is the process of producing populations of genetically-identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as Bacteria, Insects Chief Judge Eustace Fargo is an important Fictional character from the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD. Judge (or street judge) is a title held by several significant characters in the Judge Dredd series which appears in the British comics Mega-City One is a huge fictional City-state covering much of what is now the Eastern United States in the Judge Dredd Comic book Dredd has a large, computer-driven "Lawmaster" motorbike, which mounts powerful cannons, and has full artificial intelligence, and is capable of responding to orders from the Judge and driving itself. It is equipped with a video communication system, and is also connected to the Justice Department which can receive and transmit information to and from the bike. He also has a "Lawgiver" handgun (DNA-coded to recognize his palm-print alone) that fires six types of bullets; a daystick; a bootknife; and a uniform with a helmet that obscures all of his face except his mouth and jaw. The Lawgiver is a fictional weapon used by the Judges in Judge Dredd and related series that appear in the UK Comic books A club (also known as cudgel, baton, truncheon, night stick, and bludgeon) is among the simplest of all weapons His entire face is never shown in the strip. In an early story written by Mills, Dredd is forced to remove his helmet and the other characters react as if he is disfigured, but the artwork by Massimo Belardinelli was not satisfactory and Dredd's face was covered by a faux censorship sticker. Massimo Belardinelli (5 June 1938 &ndash March 2007 was an Italian Comics artist best known for his work in the British Science fiction comic 2000 AD

A frequently used sentence in the series is "I am the Law!" Dredd could be viewed as the personification of Law itself, thus his face cannot be shown because as The Law he transcends any particular form. "Lady Justice" or "Lord Justice" is also the title of judges on the Court of Appeal of England and Wales. This is not to say, however, that he is totally inhuman. Throughout the strip he displays emotions (mostly anger) and irony. Another Dredd quote is "Democracy is not for the people," a short sentence containing the Judge's very human opinion of other humans, that they need to be very strictly controlled. However it should be noted that Dredd supported a referendum on the reintroduction of democracy in the story The Devil You Know. Democracy in the fictional future city of Mega-City One has been a significant recurring theme in the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD Ironically, when such a referendum was eventually held, the result came out strongly in favour of the status quo – rule by the Judges – as Dredd had expected it would all along. Status quo is a Latin term meaning the present existing state of affairs or "the state in which"

As the strip occurs in real time, Dredd is currently more than sixty years old. However, his vitality is explained in the context of the stories with allusions to rejuvenation treatments. For some time, characters in the comic have mentioned that Dredd is not as young and fit as he used to be. If Dredd is becoming too old to serve it is unclear if there are plans to sidestep this issue (MC1 has cloning and brain transplant technology for instance). This remains a major theme of current progs.

Joe is nicknamed "Old Stoneyface", a name he apparently acquired while still a cadet. More recently, he has become known as the "Old Man"; though not confirmed, Joe is likely the oldest judge still on active street duty, with over fifty years of service (2079–2130). Recent stories have confirmed that Dredd is well aware he is living on borrowed time, with his replacements already being lined up. These include clones like Judge Rico and Cadet Dolman, and also other judges like Judge Giant. Rico Dredd is a Fictional character in the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD magazine This is a list of minor characters in the British comic strip Judge Dredd appearing in 2000 AD, Judge Dredd Megazine Judge Giant can refer to either of two fictional characters appearing in the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD.

As a result of events in the recent story Origins, some of Dredd's convictions have been shaken. "Origins" is one of the longest Judge Dredd storylines to run in the pages of British comic 2000 AD. He has recently come out against Mega-City One's treatment of mutants, attempting to have the laws repealed (which initially failed) and deliberately entering mutant camps to arrest the guards for abuses. He recently talked Chief Judge Hershey into another vote on their repeal. The second vote was a success in early 2130 and during the same story it was revealed that Dredd had reformist cadet America Beeny accelerated through the Academy. See also America (Judge Dredd story Judge America Beeny is a fictional character in the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD Dredd states in a monologue that he is very aware time is running short for him, and that his day as well as that of his generation of Judges is passing. He sees his job now to prepare the way for the new generation made up of cadets like Beeny.

Dredd has not given up on the law - far from it. He still believes in instant justice - but what appears to have changed is his trust in the system as it is. Dredd seems to believe in the ideal of the law but that the current system must change to conform to this ideal.

Family and Associates

Along with his brother Rico, Joe Dredd is a clone of Fargo, the first chief judge. Rico Dredd is a Fictional character in the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD magazine Chief Judge Eustace Fargo is an important Fictional character from the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD. However, Rico became corrupt and began breaking the law, forcing Dredd to turn him in. Twenty years later Rico returned, seeking revenge. Dredd was forced to kill him in self-defence. Self-defense (or self-defence &mdash see spelling differences) is the act of defending oneself one's property or the well-being of another from physical harm In spite of Rico's status as a perp, a wounded Dredd chose to carry him out of the apartment where Rico had died, stating "He ain't heavy, he's my brother". In the Parlance of Criminal justice, a suspect is a known person suspected of committing a Crime. " He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother " is a Popular music ballad the first-released and best-known version of which was recorded by The Hollies in

Dredd also has a niece, Vienna, who was fathered by Rico while in jail. Vienna Dredd or Vienna Pasternak is a fictional character from the Judge Dredd comic strip first appearing in prog 116 of the British comic 2000 Vienna has inherited some of their combat skills, and they have a close relationship (for Dredd). Dredd has gone out of his way to save her on occasion, and they get on relatively well.

Dredd himself has been cloned. One such clone, who adopted Rico's name (but as a surname), is often mistaken for Dredd. Judge Rico eventually inherited Dredd's apartment at Rowdy Yates Block. Rico Dredd is a Fictional character in the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD magazine

Dredd's best friend is probably Judge Giant. Judge Giant can refer to either of two fictional characters appearing in the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD. They often work together and, Rico II notwithstanding, Giant is seen as Dredd's replacement (though Giant has always acknowledged that that is an impossible task).

For years Dredd had a close but uneasy friendship with Cassandra Anderson of Psi Division. Judge Cassandra Anderson is a comics Fictional character that started as a supporting character in the comic strip Judge Dredd of 2000 AD Psi Division (Psionics Division is a fictional organisation in the Judge Dredd and Anderson Psi Division comic strips in 2000 AD This friendship came to an end when Anderson abandoned the law for a short time. Later Dredd denied his friendship with her and claimed that he had merely tolerated her. After battling an alien who claimed to be Satan, Anderson was badly injured. At this point Dredd confirmed to her that they had, indeed, been friends.

Dredd has known Chief Judge Hershey for twenty seven years; like all chief judges since Goodman, he has easy access to her, but they also have a personal relationship based on mutual respect for each other. Chief Judge Barbara Hershey is a Fictional character in the Judge Dredd series that appears in British comic 2000 AD. Chief Judge of Mega-City One is the title of several supporting characters in the Judge Dredd comic strip published in 2000 AD.

Dredd used to share his flat with a domestic robot called Walter the Wobot who performed all his domestic chores. A robot is a mechanical or Virtual Artificial agent In practice it is usually an electro-mechanical system which by its appearance or movements Walter is a fictional character from the Judge Dredd comic strip in British comic 2000 AD. Walter was intensely loyal to Dredd, but Dredd mostly treated him with open disdain. Dredd also had a landlady called Maria. This is a list of minor characters in the British comic strip Judge Dredd appearing in 2000 AD, Judge Dredd Megazine Both Walter and his landlady were kidnapped several times by criminals, and Walter was once destroyed and had to be rebuilt. In later years, Dredd parted company with both Walter and Maria, and eventually left his flat, preferring ten minutes on a sleep machine in the Grand Hall of Justice. The Grand Hall of Justice of Mega-City One is a fictional building in the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD. Maria sank into poverty and eventually died, homeless and alone. Walter tried to set up his own business, but it was shut down by Dredd. Bitterly, he plotted a second Robot Rebellion and actually shot Dredd. As a free robot, Walter was sentenced by Judge Giant to thirty years of imprisonment rather than destruction. Walter later repented, and petitioned Judge Dredd to release him. Dredd agreed, on condition that Walter resume work as a servo-droid, releasing him into the custody and service of Mrs Gunderson. This is a list of minor characters in the British comic strip Judge Dredd appearing in 2000 AD, Judge Dredd Megazine

Galen DeMarco was a judge who developed an infatuation with Dredd. Galen DeMarco is a fictional character in the world of Judge Dredd. While Dredd respected her as a judge, he did not reciprocate her feelings, since romantic attachment is prohibited to judges. Her breach of regulations led to her downfall and resignation from the force. Dredd maintained contact with her and tried to help her adjust to civilian life, but when he continued to reject her advances she eventually severed contact.

Recently revealed was the existence of a whole town occupied by the mutated descendants of Ephram Fargo, the twin brother of Chief Judge Eustace Fargo. These mutants, who share the common mutation of an overly large, exaggerated chin, are technically thus genetic relatives of Judge Dredd himself, and consider him a "cousin". This led to Dredd campaigning to have Mega-City One's mutant segregation laws repealed.

Dredd's world

The strip is set 122 years in the future. The timeline is worth noting, because the strip appears in real time - thus, as the Dredd strip has been published since 1977, Dredd has aged 31 years as of 2008. The Earth has been badly damaged by a series of international conflicts, much of the planet has turned to desert, and so populations have tended to aggregate in enormous conurbations known as 'mega-cities'. A conurbation is an Urban area or Agglomeration comprising a number of Cities, large Towns and larger urban areas that through Population The world of Judge Dredd is centred on the megalopolis of Mega-City One. A megalopolis (or megapolis) is defined as an extensive Metropolitan area or a long chain of roughly continuous metropolitan areas Mega-City One is a huge fictional City-state covering much of what is now the Eastern United States in the Judge Dredd Comic book Within Mega-City One, extensive automation (including the creation of a caste of intelligent robots) has rendered the majority of the population jobless. As a consequence, the general population is prone to embracing any fashion that comes along. Much of the remaining world's geography is somewhat vague, although other mega-cities have been referred to and visited in the strip. Mega-City One's population lives in gigantic tower blocks, each holding some fifty thousand or so people. Each is named after some historical person or TV character (Dredd used to live in the Rowdy Yates block); there is usually some very British joke in the names of the blocks. Rawhide was a television western series that aired on the US network CBS from 1959 to 1966. For instance, Rowdy Yates was a character in the U. S. TV cowboy drama Rawhide, played by a young Clint Eastwood. Rawhide was a television western series that aired on the US network CBS from 1959 to 1966. Clinton "Clint" Eastwood Jr (born May 31 1930 is a four-time Academy Award winning American Actor and Filmmaker. Eastwood would later play "Dirty Harry" -- one of the thematic influences upon which Judge Dredd was based. A number of stories feature rivalries between different blocks, on one occasion (recounted in the story "Block Mania") breaking into gunfire wars between them. Block Mania is a Judge Dredd story which ran in British comic 2000 AD #236-244 in 1981 The Judges' possessing such arbitrary and total powers reflect the difficulty of maintaining any order at all in a Mega-City's stifling environment.

Despite its frequent disasters, Mega-City One stretches from around Boston to Charlotte; it stretched further before the Apocalypse War, which saw widespread death and devastation - the south of the city being entirely wiped out. At its height, the city contained a population of about 800 million; the current population is less than half of that. The story Origins revealed that Mega-City One was formed due to growing urban sprawl rather than deliberate design, and by 2031 and with the introduction of the Judge system it was recognised as the first mega-city. "Origins" is one of the longest Judge Dredd storylines to run in the pages of British comic 2000 AD.

There are two other major population centres in Dredd's Northern America. The first is Texas City, stretching across several of the southern United States and with a different culture to its northern cousin, based on Wild West frontier values. Further north is Canadia, though the specifics of this settlement are unknown, except that they lack a Judge system. Once, Mega-City Two (stretching from around San Diego into Baja California) also existed, but was destroyed during the events of Judgement Day. Mega-City Two is a huge fictional City covering five thousand square miles of the Californian West Coast in the Judge Dredd comic book series Baja California (pronounced ˈbɑːhɑː kælɨˈfɔrnjə in English is the northernmost state of Mexico.

Further east into Asia are more nuclear deserts, the ruins of East-Meg One (destroyed by Dredd in a massive nuclear strike at the climax of the Apocalypse War), and further east the megalopolis of East-Meg Two. Mongolia, lacking a Mega-City or Judge system, has called itself the Mongolian Free State and criminals have flocked there for a safe haven.

Nuclear fallout and pollution appear to have missed Antarctica and the Arctic, causing Mega-Cities (Antarctic City and Uranium City respectively) to have been constructed there.

The high levels of pollution have created instances of mutation in humans and animals. The Mega-Cities largely operate on a system of genetic normality making expulsion from the cities the worst punishment possible.

Earth's moon has been colonised, with a series of large domes forming Luna City; another colony, Puerto Luminae, exists but is a lawless, violent hellhole. In addition many deep space colonies have been established. Some are loyal to various mega cities while many are independent states, and others still face violent insurgencies to gain independence. The multi-national Space Corps battle both insurgencies and external alien threats. The planet Hestia (which is in a polar orbit of the sun that passes near to earth's) has a colony, there are some references to colonies on Mars such as Viking City, the moon Titan has a Judicial penal colony, and MC1 is known to have deep space missile silos on Pluto.

Continuity errors have crept into the history at various stages. An example is an early story featuring a mad scientist who experimented with human cloning - despite the fact that it had already been revealed that many Judges, including Dredd himself, were clones. Cloning in Biology is the process of producing populations of genetically-identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as Bacteria, Insects The most glaring one is the reference to the penal colony for rogue Judges on Titan, which is said in the strip at various stages to orbit either Jupiter or Saturn (the latter is correct), seemingly at the whim of the writer at the time.

The Judge system

Main article: Judge (2000 AD)

In the future the Judicial system (Krytocracy) has spread throughout the globe with various super-cities besides Mega City One possessing a Judge system of law enforcement and government. Judge (or street judge) is a title held by several significant characters in the Judge Dredd series which appears in the British comics As such the Judicial political model has become the most common form of government on earth with only a few small areas practicing traditional civilian rule.

Judges once appointed, can be broadly characterized as 'street Judges' (who patrol the city), and administrative or office based judges (who teach at the Academy, or sit in formal positions).

Street Judges act as police, judge, jury and, if necessary, on-the-spot executioner. However, contrary to popular belief, Judges rarely carry out executions, and in general Capital punishment in Mega-City One is abolished. Capital punishment, the death penalty or execution, is the Killing of a person by judicial process as Punishment. Numerous writers have used the Judge system to satirize contemporary politics. The judges are, in theory, rendered absolutely incorruptible by the psychological conditioning they receive from a very early age -- although this has been subverted on several occasions to various degrees. One of the worst instances was by the insane Judge Cal who manipulated his way to the office of Chief Judge. Chief Judge Cal is a Fictional character in the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD. Chief Judge of Mega-City One is the title of several supporting characters in the Judge Dredd comic strip published in 2000 AD. Once he had absolute power, he proceeded to behave much like his namesake Caligula, even appointing his pet goldfish as his Deputy Chief Judge. Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (August 31 AD 12 &ndash January 24 AD 41 more commonly known by his nickname Caligula (kəˈlɪɡjʊlə was a Roman Emperor Dredd was the leader of the rebel Judges who overthrew Cal; after Cal's death at the hands of Fergee, a dweller of the Mega-City's undercity, Dredd was offered the job of Chief Judge. Fergee is a fictional character in the Judge Dredd universe first introduced in prog 100 of the UK Comic book 2000 AD. The Undercity is a part of the Fictional universe featured in the Judge Dredd series that appears in the UK Comic book 2000 AD He refused it, believing that he was needed far more out on the streets.

However, following the events in Wilderlands Dredd entered his nomination for Chief Judge as part of an investigation. Mechanismo is the title of a Judge Dredd story published in the British comic Judge Dredd Megazine in 1992 When the investigation was over he let his nomination stand, eventually losing the vote to Judge Volt. Chief Judge Hadrian Volt is a fictional character from the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD.

Various versions of the Judge system hold power in all the Mega-Cities of Dredd's world. There is an international charter which countries and city states join upon instituting a Judge system.

Major Judge Dredd storylines

There have been a number of Judge Dredd storylines that have either significantly developed the Dredd character or the fictional world background, or which have been "epic" in scale (i. e. , have been lengthy multi-part stories, usually at least fifteen parts or more, and have had a story of a grand scale). These include:

Villains

Numerous famous criminals ('perps' in the story's argot) have featured over the years including:

Judge Dredd: the movie

Main article: Judge Dredd (film)

An Americanized film loosely based on the comic strip was released in 1995, starring Sylvester Stallone as Dredd[5] (it was said that Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally requested for the role[6], but declined because in the original script, Dredd would keep the helmet on during major parts of the film). Judge Grice was a fictional character in the Judge Dredd comic strip in 2000 AD. Morton Judd is the name of a Fictional character from the Judge Dredd comic strip and appears in progs 559-563 of the British comic 2000 AD The Judge Child was an extended storyline in the 2000 AD Comic strip Judge Dredd that ran from issues 156 to 181 in 1980 This is a list of minor characters in the British comic strip Judge Dredd appearing in 2000 AD, Judge Dredd Megazine Philip Janet Maybe is a fictional character in the 2000 AD comic strip Judge Dredd.

Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger ( German ˌaɐnɔlt aloʏs ˈʃvaɐtsənɛɡɐ born July 30 1947 is an Austrian American Bodybuilder, Actor Fans were highly critical, largely regarding it as an American failure creatively; non-fan viewers reacted negatively, and it was a huge commercial failure as well. In deference to its expensive Hollywood star, Dredd's face was shown. In the comic, he very rarely removes his helmet and even then, his real face is never revealed. Also, in spite of the large production budget and accurate re-creation of the sets and characters' appearances, the writers largely omitted the ironic humour of the comic strip; they also ignored important aspects of the 'Dredd mythology'. For example, in the film a 'love interest' is developed between Dredd and Judge Hershey, something that is strictly forbidden between Judges (or Judges and anyone else for that matter) in the comic strip. Chief Judge Barbara Hershey is a Fictional character in the Judge Dredd series that appears in British comic 2000 AD. In America, the film won several "worst film of the year" awards. Also of interest is the cameo appearance of the ABC Warrior robot, bearing a distinct resemblance to Hammerstein. ABC Warriors is a long-running 2000 AD comic strip written by Pat Mills, which first appeared in prog 119 in 1979.

Other versions

Shortly before the release of the movie, three new comic book titles were released, followed by a one-off comic version of the film story. An American comic book is a small Magazine originating in the United States and containing a Narrative in the Comics form

Judge Dredd - Legends of the Law[8] 
Another DC Comics title, lasting 13 issues between 1994 and 1995.

John Wagner is a Comics writer who was born in Pennsylvania in 1949 and moved to Scotland as a boy Alan Grant (born 1949 is a Scottish Comic book writer known for writing Judge Dredd in 2000 AD as well as various
Judge Dredd - Lawman of the Future[9] 
From the same publishers as 2000 AD, this was nevertheless a completely different version of Dredd aimed at younger readers. Editor David Bishop prohibited writers from showing Dredd killing anyone, a reluctance which would be completely unfamiliar to readers acquainted with the original version. David Bishop is an award-winning screenwriter and author Born in New Zealand, he was a UK comics editor during the 1990s running such titles as the Judge Dredd It ran fortnightly from 1995 to 1996.

Judge Dredd Boardgames and CCGs

Mongoose Publishing have released a miniatures skirmish game of gang warfare based in Mega City 1 called Gangs of Mega-City One, often referred to as GOMC1. Judge Dredd has been the inspiration for two Role-playing game systems Mongoose Publishing is a prolific British manufacturer of role-playing, miniatures, and Card games actively publishing material since 2001 The game features Judges being called in when a gang is challenged another gang that is too tough to fight. A wide range of miniatures have been released, including box sets for an Ape Gang and an Undercity Gang. A Robot Gang was also produced but was released as two blister packs instead of a box set. Only one rules expansion has been released, called Death on the Streets, which is now out of print. The expansion introduced many new rules including usage of the new gangs and the ability to bring Judge Dredd himself into a fight. Signs and Portents continues to contain articles for this game fairly regularly.

There was also a short-lived collectible card game called simply 'Dredd' based on the world of Judge Dredd. Collectible card games (CCGs also called trading card games (TCGs or customizable card games (CCGs are played using specially designed sets of cards In the game players would control a squad of judges and arrest perps. The rules system was innovative and the game was well-received by fans and collectors alike, but various issues unrelated to the game's quality caused its early demise.

Games Workshop produced a boardgame based on the comic strip in 1982. The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game or Lord of the Rings SBG rather than Lord of the Rings when In the game players, who represent judges, attempt to arrest perps that have committed crimes in different location in Mega City One. A key feature of the game is the different action cards that are collected during play; generally these cards are used when trying to arrest perps although some cards can also be played against other players to hinder their progress. The winner of the game is the judge who collected the most points arresting perps. Whilst it is a reasonably simple game it is quite amusing especially when players spend time sabotaging each others arrest attempts. Additionally, there were many amusing card combinations such as arresting Judge Death for selling old comics, as the Old Comic Selling crime card featured a 2000 AD cover with Judge Death on it. The game used characters, locations and artwork from the comic but is now out of print.

In 1987, Games Workshop published a second Dredd-inspired boardgame, Block Mania. Block Mania is a Judge Dredd story which ran in British comic 2000 AD #236-244 in 1981 In this game for two players, players take on the role of rival neighboring blocks at war. This was a heavier game than the earlier Dredd boardgame, focused on tactical combat, in which players control these residents as they use whatever means they can to vandalize and destroy their opponent's block. Later the same year, Games Workshop released the Mega Mania expansion for the game, allowing the game to be played by up to 4 players.

Often overlooked in favour of official material, Drokk City (a non-profit Judge Dredd RPG) was in some fan circles considered the better adaptation of 'Dreddworld' to the roleplaying format, being the most detailed Judge Dredd reference series ever mounted. Published by former Mongoose Publishing freelancer John Caliber as a public apology for what he considered deep flaws with the Mongoose incarnation, Drokk City ran for four issues ('progs'), in full colour, distributed as PDF computer files. Mongoose Publishing is a prolific British manufacturer of role-playing, miniatures, and Card games actively publishing material since 2001 Although two more issues were advertised, a lack of interest from the author saw their cancellation, and the conclusion of the Drokk City series. By the time of their demise, issues 5 and 6 were in production, although far from completion. No copies of this 'lost' material are known to exist.
