Judge Joseph "Joe" Dredd is the main character of the longest running strip in the British comic 2000 A.D., having been featured there since its second issue in 1977.

 Judge Dredd: The Complete America - PopMatters Comic Book Review
For the uninitiated, Dredd is one of the Judges in the far-future Mega City One, acting as judge, jury and executioner, and licensed to dispense street-justice on the spot.
The key to Dredd's character is the paradox between his unwavering quest for justice and his near-fascist application of it.
Dredd's writers were clearly not afraid to spark controversy, and it took nearly a decade for this aesthetic to cross over to US superheroes.

The Duty judge assigns each of the crimes in the center of the table to a player, whose team has to investigate that crime.
There are also ways to be ruled out of the game (losing all of your judges, drawing out your deck, etc) and more than one way to win (one of which involves capturing four specific, evil, bad, nasty, villains) which will prove to spice up the game if you tune your decks towards them.

 Judge Dredd
Judge Dredd was a clone of Chief Judge Fargo, the first leader of the Judges.
Dredd has become a symbol of the law, and deliberately maintains this image of being a faceless representative of the system, virtually never being seen without his uniform helmet on.
There are a number of variations in the character (Dredd removes his helmet, he questions the Law in favour of Justice by the end of the movie, he lets Hershey kiss him without arresting her, and he doesn't know he and Rico are clones), the differences aren't sufficient to warrant giving him a separate entry.

In order to be a Judge you have to be the toughest of the tough and be willing to up hold the law no matter what.
What amazes me about Judge Dredd isn’t the fact that these stories are now almost 30 years old but the fact that after 30 years they all hold up amazingly well.
John Wagner (Dredd’s co-creator) might be the only name in the group of writers familiar to most American readers but the rest of the group which includes 2000 AD staples Pat Mills and Kelvin Gosnell carry through with brilliant ideas and concepts.

It’s fun to be Judge Dredd (the game makes a decent effort at translating this from the page) and that’s really what this is. If you’ve an interest in Dredd at all then it’s not a bad piece of fun for £4.
Establishing Judge Dredd as a definite individual is still a work in progress by the end of this period, despite the efforts of Robot Wars and the one-off The Return Of Rico.
The Dredd strips not by these two tend to result in a laughably stupid looking central character, with even the first efforts of Brian Bolland looking particularly painful when Dredd is on the page.

Judge Dredd is "Dirty Harry" on steroids -- the concept of the rogue cop reduced to absurdity and pitted against a wonderfully whacked-out gallery of villains, who fully deserve the harsh measure of justice that Dredd provides.

 Judge | And all that Malarkey
Judge (Joe) Dredd has been topping the bill in 2000AD comic since 1977.
Over the years to come, characters with darker undertones saw a resurgence, (witness the soon-to-be-movie success of Frank Miller's Sin City,) and while Dredd's story context is post-apocalyptic and a dark reflection on the failure of democracy, it is also filled with humour.
Dredd was the proving ground for much of today's comic writing and illustrating talent including Alan Moore (Watchmen, Swampthing), Mike McMahon and Brian Bolland, Cam Kennedy and Ian Gibson.

They also ran an apology strip with Spikes and Dredd praising Green Giant canned food but we were spared seeing them eating in Macdonalds and Burger Kings run by heroes rather than the fascist dictators they had encountered enroute.
