Writer Peter Harris, artist Mick (Michael) McMahon and Wagner further developed the character. John Wagner, by request from Pat Mills, came up with the concept behind Judge Dredd and Carlos Ezquerra came up with the character design. While these details are featured throughout the years of comics, recently the Judge Dredd Origins story arc delves into the atomic wars and Dredd's time as a cadet. Dredd and his twin brother Rico emerged from the cloning facility as five years old in 2066, which took only a matter of months.Īt this young age they are enrolled into the Academy of Law, and graduate 13 years later in 2079.
Judge Dredd, one of a number of clones of Chief Judge Fargo, is the most famous of the elite corps of Judges that run Mega-City One with the power not only to enforce the law, but also to instantly sentence offenders, to death if necessary.
The toughest of them all is Judge Joe Dredd, and he is the law! Empowered to dispense instant justice, these lawmen are judge, jury and executioner. Only the Judges can prevent total anarchy. Tensions run a constant knife-edge, and crime is rampant. Home to 400 million citizens, crammed into gigantic city-blocks, overcrowding is rife, unemployment endemic and boredom universal. The irradiated wasteland known as The Cursed Earth to the west covering most of America, and the polluted Black Atlantic to the east. Mega-City One in the 22nd century, a vast urban nightmare situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America.
