Deputy Chief Judge Pepper

Deputy Chief Judge Pepper is a senior judicial official in Mega-City One's Hall of Justice, serving alongside Judge Dredd and Chief Judge Griffin within the authoritarian future-law hierarchy of the Judge Dredd universe.

Stepping out of the gritty, dystopian pages of 2000 AD in 1979, Deputy Chief Judge Pepper is a Bronze Age figure born from the legendary British comics explosion that made IPC's flagship anthology a cultural phenomenon. Brought to life by John Howard and the incomparable Brian Bolland, Pepper occupies the upper echelons of Mega-City One's Hall of Justice, rubbing shoulders with none other than Judge Dredd himself, as well as Chief Judge Griffin and Judge Quimby — the very power brokers of that brutal future world. Collected across the landmark Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files, this is a character whose presence threads through over three decades of storytelling, a testament to the rich, sprawling world that 2000 AD built. For collectors who want to understand the full machinery of Mega-City One's justice system, Deputy Chief Judge Pepper is exactly the kind of figure worth tracking down.
