Grudge-Father

Emerging from the gritty pages of 2000 AD in 1994, Grudge-Father is a Fleetway creation with a name that practically crackles with menace — the kind of character that feels right at home in the hard-edged Copper/Modern Age British comics scene. Brought to life by Sonny Steelgrave and Ron Smith, this figure shares the ink with some of 2000 AD's most beloved icons, rubbing shoulders with Judge Dredd himself, the cult favourite Durham Red, and the endearing alien known as The Gronk. With only a tight run across 1994–1995 and thirteen catalogued appearances, Grudge-Father is precisely the sort of rare, atmospheric find that rewards the dedicated 2000 AD completist hunting for something beyond the obvious.
