Buckminster

Buckminster made their debut in the pages of Judge Dredd Megazine #20 in 1996, brought to life by the celebrated creative partnership of John Wagner and Colin MacNeil — a duo whose work has long defined the grittier, more complex corners of the Judge Dredd universe. Operating in the shadow of Mega-City One's most iconic lawman, this character shares their world with the likes of Judge Dredd himself, The Jinx, and Vic Doberman, which tells you something about the kind of hard-edged, morally complicated company they keep. Across nearly two decades of sporadic appearances through 2015 — spanning the Megazine and even Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection — Buckminster may not be the most prolific figure in the 2000 AD stable, but any character born from Wagner and MacNeil's collaboration is worth seeking out for fans who love the texture and depth that made British comics of this era genuinely special.
