Back in 1977, when I was asked by writer JohnWagner and Pat Mills (creators of the forthcomingSF comic 2000 AD) to visualize a character called

Judge Dredd, who could have imagined that 35 years laterhe would still be patrolling the streets of the vast future cityknown as Mega-City One? Or still arousing feelings of love,fear, and awe among the readers?

35 years and still going strong. Perhaps all that has changed in that time is that what

was originally a pure science fiction character could todayeasily be a part any number of police forces fromauthoritarian regimes around the globe.

A particularly special aspect of Dredd is that eventhough throughout his long printed life he has been drawnby dozens of artists from all over the world—each with hisown distinctive style—the character has always remainedtrue to his original conception. He is the sturdy reed thatwill not bend, the rock that will not crack. He is the LAW—and you better believe it!
