Judge Buchan

Judge Buchan is a lawman operating within Calhab Justice, the Scottish division of the Judge Dredd universe's global justice system. A colleague of Psi Judge Schiehallion and Judge MacBrayne, Buchan patrols the dystopian future Scotland familiar to readers of Judge Dredd the Megazine.

Born into the gritty pages of Judge Dredd the Megazine #13 in 1992, Judge Buchan is a Fleetway creation shaped by the formidable partnership of John Wagner and Colin MacNeil — a pedigree that immediately signals this is a character worth paying attention to. Rooted in the rich Calhab Justice corner of the Judge Dredd universe, Buchan has kept remarkable company over the years, sharing adventures with the likes of Judge Dredd himself, Psi Judge Schiehallion, and Judge MacBrayne. With 21 appearances spanning an impressive 24 years through to 2016 — including at least one collector-significant key issue — this is a figure who quietly endured across the Modern Age long after many contemporaries faded, popping up across Judge Dredd the Megazine, Calhab Justice, and the Judge Dredd Mega-Special. For fans who love digging into the deeper world-building of the Dredd universe beyond Mega-City One, Judge Buchan is exactly the kind of discovery that rewards the dedicated reader.
