The Hundredfold Problem ( John Grant, August 1994 ISBN 0-352-32942-4) (Re-released by BeWrite Books in 2003, rewritten as a non-Dredd novel. [109]) Orlok the Assassin was a secret agent from East-Meg One, the Russian counterpart to Mega-City One. He killed millions of innocent citizens with a chemical weapon.

He is a bloodthirsty and power-hungry maniac who was one of the men who started an war which caused the deaths of over 900 million people and caused half of Mega-City One and his home city East-Meg One to be destroyed. He's shown to treat his men under his command horribly, sending men who fail him to Siberia without winter clothing for failing him, makes his second in command play a daily game of Russian Roulette for letting Dredd escape and executes an general for merely suggesting surrender. After the destruction of East-Meg One, he was merely angry that his city was destroyed. He also feels no remorse for his crimes, stating before his execution, "I regret nothing, I apologies for nothing!". The Statue of Justice and the Public Surveillance Unit are both destroyed during Chaos Day by terrorists, with most of the teenage or younger Judge cadets being mercilessly gunned down on-screen. Aside from the apocalyptic visuals of the Statue coming down, this prompts the citizens of the city to erupt into an orgy of violence and looting even without the Bug driving their actions. And if you thought their original design was kind of goofy looking, a later story introduced a subrace of Gila-Munja that look more like xenomorphs; an Eyeless Face, spindly body, Creepy Long Fingers with the iconic poisonous claws, a whipping tail, and a mouthful of More Teeth than the Osmond Family. H-wagon is not one particular vehicle but a generic term used by the judges for any Justice Department vehicle that flies. It's noted that Dennis introduced two rival militant atheists to the Donut to destroy the Nandies' faith in their goddess, Korax, seemingly for no reason other than to bring about the complete destruction of the Nandies and the Overlords both.

The UK ska/ Two-Tone band Madness recorded a tribute single to Dredd under the name of The Fink Brothers, entitled "Mutants in Mega-City One". Released on the Zarjazz label in February 1985, the record featured a cover drawn by 2000 AD Dredd artist Brian Bolland. [142] Scared of rats? The Cursed Earth gives you good reason to be; the standard Cursed Earth rat is far bigger than its ancestors, eerily intelligent, and spots venomous fangs that can kill a man with one bite. Worse, they're voracious predators with no fear of man - if anything, they regard humans as just another food source.

Of the other six host-mothers who were delivered by Caesarean, three died, two went irretrievably insane, and the last — Soon's mother, a Serial Killer named Doris "Driller Killer" Davison — lasted long enough to curse the project manager for unleashing a monster on the world before she committed suicide by swallowing her tongue. The Dark Judges are a group of undead judges from another dimension, who believe that since all crime is committed by the living, life itself should be a crime. Usually four in number, their leader Judge Death may be said to be Dredd's arch-enemy. Death was first introduced to the series in 1980 and has featured in many stories since, in Judge Dredd and in his own series. Burbidge, Greg.

Judge Dredd has also been published in a long-running comic strip (1981–1998) in the Daily Star, [23] and briefly in Metro from January to April 2004. [24] These were usually created by the same teams writing and drawing the main strip, and the Daily Star strips have been collected into a number of volumes.The 2000 AD Links Project, "Top Thrill of the Month: Judge Dredd: Necropolis".

The Mega-City Judges face an uprising by the city's robot servant workforce, led by carpenter-droid Call-Me-Kenneth. The first multi-part Dredd story. Walter the Wobot, a robot who often pronounces R sounds as W, helps Dredd against the uprising and rallies together other robots that wish to still serve humanity. As a result, he is made a "free robot". Due to his love and respect for Dredd, Walter decides to remain as the judge's personal valet, housekeeper, and cook.

While not related to the dangers of the journey itself, there's the mutant daughter of one of the settler families; they left Mega-City One so they wouldn't have to abandon her, but her mutation is very severe, as she no longer looks even close to human, instead resembling a mix of a crab and a snail that needs to be kept in a tank of water. She's still an infant too, and the veteran guide leading the settlers even wonders exactly what she's going to grow into. We never find out either way, even though her family are among the few survivors, as she scuttles off into a stream shortly after arriving in the territories, and is never seen again. Judge Dredd is a law enforcement and judicial officer in the dystopian future city of Mega-City One, which covers most of the east coast of North America. He is a " street judge", empowered to summarily arrest, convict, sentence, and execute criminals. Judge Jura Edgar was a serious adversary of Dredd even before he discovered that she was a criminal. A high-ranking judge (the head of the Public Surveillance Unit), Edgar clashed with Dredd several times, and sometimes got the better of him: a very rare example of an opponent Dredd could not simply arrest or kill. Character and appearance [ edit ] Judge Dredd from his first published story, as drawn by Mike McMahon in 1977. The character's appearance has remained essentially unchanged since, except for a more prominent jawline.Blood Cadets (progs 1186–1188). This introduces a new, young clone of Dredd who calls himself Rico (no first name) to try to redeem that name. Blood and Duty (progs 1300–1301) saw the return of Dredd's niece Vienna Pasternak. With Vienna's reintroduction and the arrival of Judge Rico, Dredd is given a family and several new plot points for future stories, including the Justice Department creating a large number of Dredd clones, and Dredd's problems with trying to connect with his niece.
