Judge Fintan Joyce

Stepping out of the grim streets of Mega-City One in 2013, Judge Fintan Joyce is a Modern Age creation from writer Michael Carroll and artist Paul Davidson, debuting in the pages of 2000 AD — one of British comics' most beloved institutions. Over a focused run through the mid-2010s, Joyce carved out a place in the brutal, satirical world of the Judges, sharing pages with none other than Judge Dredd himself, Chief Judge Hershey, and other heavyweights of that unforgiving future-law universe. Across 2000 AD, the Judge Dredd Megazine, and the curated Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection, this character accumulated 33 appearances — a respectable footprint in a continuity that doesn't suffer weak badges gladly. For fans who love the rich ensemble texture of the Dreddverse and want to dig deeper than the big names, Fintan Joyce is exactly the kind of discovery that rewards a thorough read.
