Five Reasons Why Batman Should Choose Judge Dredd Over Superman

1. They have the same eloquent sense of humor.

2. Being equals in power means they can have cool buddy fights for stupid reasons.

3. They both have bizarre and dangerous rogues’ galleries.

4. They are both grim bachelors who are obsessed by their chosen missions - but at home they are like big fluffy teddy bears for their peculiar surrogate families.

5. Their team-upping would really annoy everyone not included.

Clark (making puppy eyes toward Hal Jordan): So I bought these nice friendship bracelets for nothing.

Hal: ...

Hal: Like I want to be a stand-in for your batty buddy.

2000 AD #9-17 APRIL - JUNE 1977 BY JOHN WAGNER, PAT MILLS, CARLOS EZQUERRA, IAN GIBSON, MIKE MCMAHON AND RONNY TURNER

SYNOPSIS (FROM 2000ADOPEDIA)

Judges Dredd and Diablo were at the Robot of the Year Show to guard against a threat to destroy the show if a 20 million credits ransom was not paid. Attacking with myclon gas, only Dredd was left alive. The perp escaped but Dredd commandeered a bloodhound robot to trace him.

Part One The carpenter robot Call Me Kenneth goes berserk and starts attacking people. Dredd blows up its head with a High-Ex bullet, but only succeeds in blinding it. He shoots down a high voltage Skyrail power cable to electrocute the robot, and it cuts itself in half with its own chainsaw.

Part Two Judge Dredd quits after the Grand Judge refuses to listen to his warning about the potential robot threat. Meanwhile, Call Me Kenneth is given a new body casing, and Dr. Arnold Wisenheimer operates on it live on TV to repair the fault which caused it to go berserk. A nurse's mistake causes the robot to reactivate before it can be fixed however, and it kills the doctor. Through the TV it incites robots all over the city to rebel against humans. Dredd returns to lead the Judges against the robot army.

Part Three The Judges fall back behind a robot proof steel barrier, but huge demolition robots called Heavy Metal Kids appear to smash through it. Dredd uses his bike to ride rings around them while they try to smash him, causing them to break apart the elevated roadway they're stood on so they plummet to the ground a mile below. The exhausted Dredd is returned home by Judge Jack where his housekeeper Maria tries to put him to bed. Dredd refuses to rest and says he will hunt down Call Me Kenneth alone.

Part Four At the Grand Hall of Justice, Dredd stops Walter from being destroyed so he can accompany Dredd into the robot-held part of the city as his guide. Dredd tries to bluff his way in, posing as a realistic robot, but his ruse is discovered when he is spotted bleeding from a recent wound. He is taken before Call Me Kenneth who threatens to turn him into a living robot.

Part Five Dredd witnesses Call Me Kenneth ruling over the other robots like a ruthless tyrant. He is put in robotic handcuffs, beaten, and led away. Later that night, Walter turns up and frees him by burning through the cuffs with acid.

Part Six Dredd and a small band of robots disillusioned with Call Me Kenneth's new regime manage to switch the circuits in the central computer so all newly created robots are loyal to humans again. With this newly created army he regains control of the factory. Meanwhile Call Me Kenneth has escaped and is threatening the Grand Hall of Justice with a squad of Heavy Metal Kids.

Part Seven Dredd takes control of Atmosphere Control and uses Walter's help to reprogram it to produce a massive electrical storm over the Heavy Metal Kids that are attacking the Grand Hall of Justice. The demolition robots turn on and destroy each other. The Judges win but the body of Call Me Kenneth can't be found.

Part Eight Call Me Kenneth is found trying to hijack an oil tanker. Dredd boards it as it takes off, and he battles Kenneth on top of it as it flies above he city. Dredd is knocked from the tanker but manages to ignite the oil as he falls. Call Me Kenneth is killed in the resulting explosion, and Dredd is caught in a Fire Dept net. Walter the Wobot is rewarded for his part in the victory with his freedom, and chooses to become Dredd's manservant.

REVIEW

It’s not easy finding a sci-fi comic-book, one that is loyal to the principles of the genre. This is odd because comic-books wouldn’t really exist as we know them without sci-fi aficionados.

This story screams sci-fi from the first panel. It is a bit odd to me how Dredd bullies his robot manservant all the time. Not saying that is wrong or out of character, but considering he is the star, I don’t know, I would have expected a better attitude from him to those that are helping him.

In these stories, Dredd is starting to look a bit more iconic, especially under the pencils of McMahon.

This story was reprinted in “The early cases” in color.

I give the story a score of 8

those hiya judge dredd figures are so cool and I'm glad I'll finally be able to have a little judge dredd. Now I'm mainly hoping that part of the line is my fave(and my pfp) Walter the Wobot because I'd really like to display him with dredd, and he's cute

2000AD@45: Convention Catch Up!

The free 2000AD@45 online event this weekend, celebrating 45 years of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, went down really well across various web platforms, but for those of you who may have missed it, or parts of it, Rebellion have posted recordings of the talks on YouTube. We’re still not really sure if the event’s anchor really appreciated “help” from his co-host, Walter the Wobot, but we enjoyed…

Hooway! 2000AD featuring Judge Dredd prog 191, dated 20 December 1980. Judge Dredd cover by Ian Gibson. Ian signed off the interior strip as 'Emberton' which is the pen name he is said to have used when he felt that he used a bit less detail than normal. Still more than recognisable as his own work though. Rebellion.

Judge Dredd is a fascist drama that forgot how to be good years ago, starring the old guy antihero who can now be young again whenever he wants, a blonde psychick that doesn't have anything to do with anything anymore, a woman named after a chocolate bar with zero personality after 40 years, emo zombie judge that long outstayed their welcome and Walter the Wobot.

CLASSIC COVER: Walter the Wobot by Kevin O'Neill for 2000 AD Prog 44 (24th December, 1977)

Prog 68: Ssssssssss Clay, now you're gonna... DIE just like A...Artie!

Prog 68: Ssssssssss Clay, now you’re gonna… DIE just like A…Artie!

Dave Gibbons provides this prog’s cover – the first time he has drawn Inferno (even though the story features characters he designed for Harlem Heroes).

The Nerve Centre prints the the top stories, as voted for by readers. In first place is Judge Dredd, 2nd is Dan Dare, 3rd Inferno, 4th MACH 1, 5th Future Shocks, 6th Walter the Wobot and 7th Colony Earth. I may dispute Dan Dare and Inferno,…
