JUDGE DEATH 2025 MEGA-SPECIAL #1

Greetingssss! 2000 AD celebrates 45 years of Judge Death and his Dark Judges with an all-new 48 page special which will get your heart racing and send chills down your spine! Featuring a brand new cover from Judge Death’s iconic co-creator Brian Bolland, each of the stories in this special highlights one of the Dark Judges as they wreak havoc across the universe: Judge Death, Judge Mortis, Judge Fire and Judge Fear. So if you’re looking for a fright - you’ve come to the right place, reader! Hailing from a parallel dimension known as Deadworld, Judge Death is a creature for whom all life is a crime. Once, he was a young psychotic boy called Sidney De’Ath, the son of an equally depraved and lunatic dentist, and he showed early signs of finding enjoyment in harming others. Responsible for the deaths of not only his mother and sister but his pet dog too, Sidney’s penchant for violence saw him joining Deadworld’s brutal Justice Department as a Cadet Judge, where his natural ruthlessness found him fitting in right away - he even pulled the switch on executing his father. As he rose through the ranks, he declared sentencing perps a chore; better to shoot them on the spot and remove them entirely than risk them re-offending. Thus his philosophy took shape - since crime is committed by the living, therefore life itself is a crime, and the sentence can only be death. Encountering a pair of witches, these self-styled Sisters of Death went about transforming Sidney from the still-living human being into a resurrected supernatural ghoul, incapable of being killed - and thus Judge Death was born, complete with his modified robes of office….
