Judge Kolb

Few characters can claim a debut drawn by Brian Bolland in the pages of 2000 AD, but Judge Kolb is one of them — stepping into the gritty Bronze Age world of British comics in 1978, scripted by John Wagner himself. A figure of Mega-City law sharing panel space with legends like Judge Dredd, Walter the Wobot, and Judge Tex, Kolb occupies that compelling supporting tier that gives Dredd's world its texture and weight. With appearances catalogued across nearly four decades and preserved in the celebrated Complete Case Files, this is the kind of character that rewards the dedicated reader who wants to understand the full, richly populated universe behind the badge.
