Who is Chief Judge Griffin?

Chief Judge Griffin is a senior judicial authority in the dystopian future of Mega-City One, the sprawling setting of Judge Dredd. As Chief Judge, he commands the Hall of Justice and its Judges, wielding near-absolute power over law enforcement in the city.

Stepping out of the gritty Bronze Age pages of 2000 AD and Starlord in 1979, Chief Judge Griffin is a figure of authority in one of British comics' most celebrated universes, brought to life by J. Howard and R. Smith. Over a remarkable 37-year presence across 2000 AD, 2000 AD and Tornado, and 2000 AD and Starlord, this high-ranking lawkeeper has shared the page with icons like Judge Dredd and Rogue Trooper β€” serious company that speaks to Griffin's place at the heart of IPC's landmark science-fiction line. With a collector-significant key issue to their name and 49 catalog appearances spanning nearly four decades, Chief Judge Griffin is a rewarding discovery for any fan digging deep into the rich, sprawling world of British comics' finest era.
