Big Meg One – Primer 4 – Judge Anderson

In the fourth mega episode of our Judge Dredd Megazine Primer series Eli and Conrad are looking at some classic Dredd adventures to learn more about the Lawman of the Future.  we’re talking about one of Judge Dredd’s greatest allies, and his direct opposite, Psi Judge Cassandra Anderson! In the last primer we met Judge Anderson as she fought against Judge Death, but I wanted to get into some of her solo adventures here. For the record this is jumping the gun a little bit, as we won’t get an Anderson story for a few years in the Megazine, but I like the character a lot, and once she arrives in the Meg she’s there pretty constantly, so might as well cover it!

Big Meg One – Primer 3 – Judge Death

In the third mega episode of our Judge Dredd Megazine Primer series Eli and Conrad are looking at some classic Dredd adventures to learn more about the Lawman of the Future. This episode we’re focusing on one of Judge Dredd’s greatest opponents, Judge Death! Generally when Dredd defeats someone they end up dead or in prison, and it’s extremely rare for someone to make a repeat appearance. As an immortal personification of death from an alternate dimension, Judge Death is the exception to that rule. Also Conrad makes a pretty big mistake with a key Dredd quote, TWICE!

Stories Discussed:

  • Judge Death
  • Judge Death Lives
  • Four Dark Judges
