Judge Heffer

Judge Heffer is a street judge operating in the brutal future-law world of Mega-City One, the dystopian setting of the Judge Dredd universe, where judges serve simultaneously as police, jury, and executioner enforcing order on a vast, crime-ridden populace.

John Wagner and Richard Elson introduced Judge Heffer to the gritty, law-soaked world of the Judge Dredd universe in 2001's Judge Dredd Megazine #76, planting this Modern Age figure firmly in one of British comics' most celebrated ongoing sagas. Over an eighteen-year span, Heffer turns up in the pages of the Megazine and the landmark Complete Case Files collections, sharing that unforgiving future-law beat alongside the likes of Mean Machine Angel, Judge Smith, Judge Roffman, Judge Castillo, and Judge Kuan — serious company in a serious world. With only a handful of catalogued appearances, Heffer is the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the devoted reader who savours every corner of Mega-City One's sprawling mythology.
