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!
