Judge Lopez

Judge Lopez is a law enforcement officer serving in the futuristic Mega-City One, the sprawling urban setting of 2000 AD, operating as part of the Judges — an authoritarian police force that combines the roles of cop, judge, jury, and executioner.

Stepping out of the gritty, future-shocked pages of 2000 AD in 1980, Judge Lopez is a Bronze Age creation from the legendary British anthology that rewrote the rules of comics storytelling — brought to life by T. B. Grover and Ian Gibson at the height of the weekly's creative golden run. With appearances spanning an impressive 26 years and two collector-significant key issues to their name, Lopez is a figure of quiet durability in the sprawling world of Mega-City law, sharing the page with titans like Judge Dredd, Judge Hershey, and the infamous Judge Child. Whether you're hunting through The Complete Case Files or chasing down the Judge Child Quest, encountering Lopez is a reminder of just how richly populated that brutal future precinct truly is — and how IPC's flagship title rewarded careful readers with a cast that ran far deeper than the headliners.
