Judge Inspector Itami

Stepping out of the pages of Judge Dredd the Megazine in 1994, Judge Inspector Itami is a distinctive figure in the sprawling, darkly satirical universe that Fleetway Publications built around Mega-City One — brought to life by the legendary creative pairing of John Wagner and Ian Gibson. Over a span stretching more than two decades, this character carved out a place in the harder-edged Copper and Modern Age of British comics, sharing the page with titans like Judge Dredd himself and compelling figures such as Judge Inspector Aiko Inaba and Takashi Shimura. With seven catalog appearances including a collector-recognized key issue, Itami is the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the dedicated reader who wants to explore beyond the headline names — a rare find in the rich, sprawling world of the Megazine.
