He is a clone of Judge Fargo, the first Chief Judge.ĭredd was created by British comics writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra for the second issue (or “prog” as they’re called) of 2000 AD magazine in 1977. We’ve never seen Dredd's face and only learned his true origin after decades of comics. He is the most famous and most feared Judge in all of Mega-City One, where crime runs rampant despite the zero-tolerance polices of its authoritarian government. Dredd and his fellow officers are referred to as "Street Judges" because they have the authority to apprehend, sentence, and even execute criminals on the spot. Joseph Dredd is a law enforcement officer in Mega-City One-a sprawling American metropolis in the 22nd century, spanning roughly from Boston all the way down to Charlotte. With some advice from Douglas Wolk-comics critic, Dredd expert, and writer for the new mini-series Judge Dredd: Mega City Two-I've compiled everything you might need to know to get started with this surprisingly interesting and complex comic. If your knowledge of Judge Dredd is limited to the campy Stallone movie or a couple of comics you read in the ‘90s, you’ve only scratched the surface of what this sci-fi classic has to offer.
