Judge Inspector Shojo

Debuting in the pages of 2000 AD #929 in 1995 — brought to life by the formidable creative trio of Grant Morrison, Mark Millar, and Mick Austin — Judge Inspector Shojo is a Copper/Modern Age figure from the storied world of British comics publishing under Fleetway Publications. Shojo moves in serious company, sharing the page with none other than Judge Dredd himself, alongside the likes of Judge Spassky, Judge Daktari, and Paul Finn, which speaks to the weight of the corners of that universe this character inhabits. Collected in the landmark Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files, Shojo's place in the 2000 AD canon stretches across nearly two decades — a testament to the enduring richness of that anthology's world-building. For fans who love digging into the deeper roster of the Dredd universe, this is exactly the kind of character worth tracking down.
