Wilderlands storyline (progs 891–894 and 904–918 and Megazine 2.57–2.67). This story introduced Judge Volt and Judge Castillo, revived the Council of Five, and ended many long-running subplots, including the Mechanismo Program and McGruder's second stint as Chief Judge. Dredd is exposed as falsifying evidence to shut down the Mechanismo project and is arrested, while Chief Judge McGruder attempts to remain in power and see Mechanismo implemented. When a malfunctioning Mechanismo crashes a space cruiser on an alien world in an attempt to kill McGruder, Dredd takes control of the survivors. The following stories originally appeared in 2000AD Progs 571 - 618. They were all reprinted by Rebellion in Judge Dredd The Complete Case Files 12. Dredd's adversaries generally do not return in sequels, since they are usually killed or sentenced to long terms of incarceration. However, a few notable villains have returned in multiple stories, and some later got their own spin-off series. From 1993 to 1995, Virgin Books published nine Judge Dredd novels. They had hoped the series would be a success in the wake of the feature film, but the series was cancelled after insufficient sales. [ citation needed] In August 2015, these novels were re-released as e-books. [108] The books are: We also get an introduction to evolved monkeys and mutants which give us a taster of this world and the satire which makes it so diesel. The Mega City 5000 race and later the killer Elvis car are cool storylines, and surprisingly a lot takes place on the moon with Dredd as the steward of the place. The entire Soviet Union theme is also ever present and indicates that we are in for a lot more on that front.Alan Grant Interview part 4". 2000 A.D. Review. 12 January 2005.

The metal band Anthrax included a song about Judge Dredd on their third album ( Among the Living) entitled " I Am the Law". It is one of their most popular and well-known songs, and often features as an encore to setlists. They also released a 12" single and a 7" picture disc, both bearing the image of Dredd. [141] One 12" version featured a fold-out poster of the band dressed as Judges drawn by drummer Charlie Benante. Svensson, Peter (11 July 2015).

It is revealed that Joe Dredd is a clone who was artificially aged and trained to be a judge since childhood. The story also reveals he has an older (by 12 minutes) clone "brother" Rico Dredd who became a judge alongside him. Rico grew corrupt, taking bribes and killing people in his way until Joe arrested him, leading to a sentence of 20 years hard labor on Saturn's moon Titan (this penal colony will be mentioned again in several later stories, particularly as a place where renegade judges are sent). Now in 2099, 20 years later, Rico comes to Mega-City One seeking revenge. No longer used to Earth's gravity, Rico Dredd is outdrawn and killed by Joe, who seems to mourn his brother despite their differences. Some later stories expand Rico's life and personality.

[11] In Japan, manga comic Shōnen Jump Autumn Special (1995) included a one-off story featuring a unique version of Judge Dredd which was entirely different to both the comic character and the movie character. Set in Tokyo in 2099, Dredd Takeru is a part-time street judge whose day job is working as a primary school teacher. In 2129 ( 2000 AD #1535), Dredd is present when his clone-father Eustace Fargo is revived from cryogenic suspension, only to die later the same day. Before Fargo dies, he calls for Dredd to be at his side and admits his conclusion that the Judge system was a mistake that killed the American Dream, that it was meant to fix things but not last forever. Since Joe and Rico Dredd are his blood, Eustace hopes they will fix his mistakes, implying they should replace the Judge System with something else (he was unaware Rico Dredd had gone renegade and later died by Joe's hand). After Eustace Fargo dies, Dredd decides not to share the man's final words.

[2] Over the years, Judge Dredd has been hailed as one of the best satires of American and British culture with an uncanny ability to predict upcoming trends and events such as mass surveillance, the rise of populist leaders, and the COVID-19 pandemic. [3] In 2011, IGN ranked Judge Dredd 35th among the top 100 comic book heroes of all time. [4]

This was a tough read right up until the last few stories. The stories were still shit, don’t get me wrong, but something changed. Dredd is fascist, man. There is no other way to say it. The man was always an arsehole throughout this book but the last couple of stories, he changed. He gave a guy 6 months for littering, the littering being his attempted suicide. 5MPH under the speed limit? Banned from driving for 12 years! Holy shit guys, I think Dredd might be both the hero and villain here. I know next to nothing about the character so I don’t know if I’m off here but I think things are going to be interesting going forward.The following stories originally appeared in 2000AD Progs 2 - 60.
