Cadet Kraken

Cadet Kraken is a young Judge trainee from the world of Judge Dredd, introduced in the gritty Mega-City One setting of 2000 AD. Connected to the Psi Division, Kraken's story intersects with major figures including Judge Dredd and Psi Judge Anderson.

Born in the pages of 2000 AD #650 in 1989, Cadet Kraken emerged from the gritty Copper Age of British comics courtesy of the legendary John Wagner and John Higgins — a creative pedigree that alone signals this is a character worth tracking down. Published by Fleetway across a surprisingly long stretch reaching into 2015, Kraken shares the page with some of the most iconic figures in the 2000 AD universe: Judge Dredd himself, Psi Judge Anderson, Judge Giant, and the enigmatic figure known as The Dead Man. With a key issue already to their name and appearances collected in the prestigious Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files, Cadet Kraken occupies a genuinely meaningful corner of Mega-City One's mythology. Six catalog appearances may sound modest, but in this company, every one of them counts.
