2000AD’s Judge Dredd has been around in American pop culture longer than most British comics. As a mainstay in the gritty British comics scene Dredd appeals to mature audiences. Thanks to writers like Garth Ennis, readers have been digging the character’s righteous sense of right and wrong, his badass bike the lawmaster, his multitude of gear, and his unflinching commitment to brutal punishment. Joseph Dredd is an American law enforcement officer in the dystopian future city of Mega-City One. He is a “street judge”, empowered to summarily arrest, convict, sentence, and execute criminals.
You may remember him from the horseshit Sylvester Stallone film that turns 20 this year.
Or even you were one of the very few who caught Dredd 3D in theaters than you know the magic of what the character can be.
But even with seeing these two films one look at this infographic will show how little you may truly know about the law. So take some time and bone up on some Dredd. Once done with this go read the excellent release of The Dark Judges storyline that IDW Publishing is currently rereleasing.
