Judge McGruder

Judge McGruder is a high-ranking Judge in the dystopian Mega-City One, the brutal future metropolis of the Judge Dredd universe. She operates within the authoritarian Justice Department, eventually rising to the position of Chief Judge and wielding considerable political power over the city's law enforcement.

Stepping out of the gritty, satirical world of Mega-City One, Judge McGruder made her debut in 2000 AD #182 in 1980, brought to life by the legendary team of Alan Grant and Carlos Ezquerra during the Bronze Age of comics. A recurring presence in the pages of Britain's most iconic anthology title, she shares the world with titans like Judge Dredd and Chief Judge Griffin, placing her squarely at the heart of one of comics' most beloved dystopian universes. Spanning an impressive 37 years of publication history, McGruder is a testament to the enduring richness of the 2000 AD universe and the depth of its supporting cast. For collectors and fans who love diving beneath the surface of a landmark series, she's a rewarding figure well worth seeking out.
