Judge Inspector Aiko Inaba

John Wagner and Manuel Benet introduced Judge Inspector Aiko Inaba to readers in 1993's Judge Dredd the Megazine #39, planting her firmly in the rich, sprawling world of Rebellion's flagship British comics universe right at the dawn of the Modern Age. Over the following 23 years she carved out a steady presence across the Judge Dredd Megazine in some 40 catalogued appearances — a quiet mark of durability in a publication where only the most compelling characters endure. She keeps genuinely distinguished company, sharing pages with Judge Dredd himself, Psi Judge Anderson, and figures like Takashi Shimura and Cadet Judge Inspector Junko Asahara, placing her squarely within the Megazine's broader international tapestry of law and order. With a key-issue appearance to her name and nearly two and a half decades on the page, Aiko Inaba is exactly the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the dedicated Megazine reader.
