Chief Judge Goodman

Chief Judge Goodman was the head of Mega-City One's Judge system, appearing in the earliest days of 2000 AD. As the city's top lawman, he presided over the Judges who kept order in the sprawling future metropolis, including the legendary Judge Dredd.

From the very second issue of 2000 AD in 1977, Chief Judge Goodman stepped into the sprawling, darkly satirical world that would become one of British comics' most beloved universes — a Bronze Age original who has endured across nearly five decades of Mega-City mayhem. Created by Robert Flynn and Enio for IPC's landmark anthology, this authoritative figure has kept some extraordinary company over the years, sharing pages with Judge Dredd himself, the loveable Walter the Wobot, and the gloriously eccentric Max Normal. With three key collector issues to their name and a presence stretching from 1977 all the way to 2024, Chief Judge Goodman is a testament to the rich, layered world-building that made 2000 AD a cornerstone of comics history — exactly the kind of character that rewards the dedicated reader digging into Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files.
