Releasing 11th February 2027, Fifty Years of Judge Dredd is an oversized omnibus collection of Dredd’s greatest cases from the pages of 2000 AD, alongside interviews with some of the greatest talents in comics to have brought him to life!

Fantastic for fans of Judge Dredd who want a one-stop collection to grab from their bookshelf — and a perfect primer for readers new to the character — this landmark title will be published as part of the celebrations of 2000 AD’s fiftieth anniversary in February 2027. Since he was created by John Wagner (A History of Violence) and Carlos Ezquerra (Preacher) half a century ago, Judge Dredd has acted as judge, jury and executioner on the streets of the dystopian city of Mega-City One. These stories have ranged from sci-fi satire to war story, from epic adventure to iconic horror.

This dense and sweeping collection will feature classic encounters with legendary villains like Judge Death through to corruption and evil lurking inside the Justice Department itself, in a definitive celebration of Judge Dredd’s electric — and uninterrupted — run in 2000 AD from 1977 right through to the present day. So… what’s inside the book? Here’s a list of all forty stories presented inside this half-century celebration!
