Judge Gradgrind

A minor but genuine piece of Bronze Age British comics history, Judge Gradgrind stepped onto the pages of 2000 AD back in 1978 — part of the gritty, satirical world conjured by Pat Mills and Mike McMahon in that landmark weekly anthology from IPC. Sharing the page with titans like Judge Dredd himself, as well as Judge Jack, Spikes Harvey Rotten, and other denizens of that ruthless future city, Gradgrind occupies a small but authentic corner of one of comics' most enduring universes. With appearances catalogued across nearly three decades and preserved in the beloved Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files, this is exactly the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the dedicated collector hunting for every thread in Mega-City One's sprawling tapestry.
