British Update: He Is The Law! First Judge Dredd in 2000 AD #2
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: At the beginning of 1977, a comic was launched that captured the zeitgeist of the times, more anarchic and anti-establishment than anything that had come before it in British comics, no more so than in (paradoxically) the ultra-Establishment figure of Judge Dredd, the iconic anti-hero who has gone on to become legendary after debuting in issue #2, joining Mach-1, Invasion, Harlem’s Heroes, Flesh and the new Dan Dare as the star line-up. This copy of Dredd’s debut is FA/GD; interior pages clean and sound, but moderate cover wear, including small upper spine split, half-inch tear mid-right cover edge, small corner off lower right cover corner, and a 1″ (approx) tear from the lower cover edge, which affects the first six interior pages also. Nevertheless, all interior pages are clean, sound and eminently readable. This copy of #2, Judge Dredd’s debut, is on sale at £90.
