Have been infatuated with this series since my teens, mainly because of the sheer brutality and black humor

Dredd takes place in a future world where a nuclear holocaust happened and most of the USA is crammed into these overpopulated nightmare dwellings called "Mega-Cities". The only people capable of taking on the herculean task of keeping the city safe are "Judges" who're judge, jury, and execution all wrapped into one. They don't hesitate to kill and will dole out a severe sentence in the "iso-cubes" if you so much as look at them cross. The initial premise was "Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry in the semi-distant future" and for a while that's what it stuck with. But as it went on it got more and more wild and chaotic and became something very unique in comics; a book with no hero and no positive outlook

Obviously the series garnered a lot of praise and attention, later spinning off into two movies; 1995 with Sylvester Stallone and 2012 with Karl Urban (tbh, I kind of like them both for different reasons) and two games; one inspired by the Stallone movie for the SNES and Genesis and one more faithful to the comics called Dredd vs Death for sixth gen consoles and PC

The series is still going with the help of publisher and game developer Rebellion within the pages of the weekly comic 2000AD and the monthly Judge Dredd Megazine

There's also a baker's dozen of audio dramas regarding Dredd. My favorite, which was one of the earliest, is "The Day The Law Died" based on the comics serial of the same name

It's fair to say my wife and I are total DreddHeads 😆

I was always a big fan of Judge Anderson, and looked forward to the installments of Anderson: Psi Division in each issue of 2000AD. Some fantastic stories there, by fantastic artists. Arthur Ranson was my favorite - a former illustrator turned comic artist. His work had an uncanny, realistic look, usually punctuated by the use of watercolors.

The wife is a fan of the Dark Judges, especially Fear and Fire. She made a custom, hand-painted Judge Fire figure with her favorite look - charred-black body, with green flames. She's also been working on a Judge Fear cosplay for years... though she's not much of a conventioneer, and doesn't have any friends to go along with her to the local Cons. She mostly just wears it around the house - beartraps and all 😝
