The Best of John Wagner’s Judge Dredd – out now!

16th March 2022

The Best of John Wagner’s Judge Dredd gives long-time fans and new readers alike the chance to enjoy some of the highlights of the legacy of one of comics’ titans.

Few writers have had the impact on comics as John Wagner, and The Best of John Wagner’s Judge Dredd celebrates 45 years of his greatest creation – the ‘Lawman of the future’, Judge Dredd. One of the best-known voices in British comics, and respected and revered for revitalising the industry in the 1970s, Wagner’s style is unmistakeable – terse, action-packed, poignant, and often blackly funny.

His often unacknowleged influence can be seen not just in the ‘British Invasions’ of the 1980s, but throughout modern comics. Published as part of 2000 AD‘s 45th anniversary and celebrating of almost five decades chronicling the madness and mayhem of Mega-City One, this 305-page hardcover collection features some of the funniest, most poignant and action-packed Judge Dredd tales penned by the great man himself.

The Best of John Wagner’s Judge Dredd hardcover is now available to order from 2000 AD‘s webshop as well as from book and comic book stores, and online retailers.
