A Second Chance In Mega-City One? Judge Dredd: A Penitent Man Is Out Now!
13th March 2024
JUDGE DREDD: A PENITENT MAN
A brand new noir masterpiece from two of 2000 AD’s best new talents – Judge Dredd: The Penitent Man collection is available to buy now!
Former Judge Kyle Asher returns from the penal colony on Titan after serving twenty years. Working as a third-class sludge technician he is determined to prove that he can still serve the city he swore an oath to, Judge Dredd is not so sure of him, and questions whether there is such a thing as a penitent man in a place like Mega-City One. However the SJS, the Judges Internal Affairs division, are determined to run Asher out of town, and Dredd wants to know the reason why.
Widely acknowledged as one of the best current writers on the legendary and long-running Judge Dredd, Kenneth Niemand is joined by artist Tom Foster, who since winning the 2000 AD talent search in 2013 has gone on to become a fan favourite with a style that combines the meticulous inking of Brian Bolland and the noir stylings of Howard Chaykin. ‘A Penitent Man’ is their modern classic, a brooding slow-burn rumination on justice, guilt and a system that can neither forgive nor forget.
