Judge De Klerk

Judge De Klerk is a Judge operating in the dystopian Mega-City One, the sprawling future metropolis patrolled by the Justice Department in the Judge Dredd universe. A street-level lawkeeper, De Klerk has worked alongside prominent Judges including Dredd and Chief Judge Hershey.

Stepping out of the unforgiving streets of Mega-City One, Judge De Klerk is a Modern Age creation who made their debut in the pages of 2000 AD in 2001 — that legendary British anthology that has never stopped pushing the boundaries of comics storytelling. Over a span of roughly two decades, De Klerk has kept genuinely distinguished company, sharing pages with the likes of Judge Dredd himself, Chief Judge Hershey, and the gloriously strange Finnigan Sinister. With 17 catalogued appearances across 2000 AD and the celebrated Complete Case Files collections, De Klerk is one of those richly textured figures who rewards the dedicated reader willing to dig deep into the sprawling, satirical world Rebellion has built around the most famous lawman in comics.
