Judge Pepper

Judge Pepper is a lawman operating in the brutal, satirical future-city world of 2000 AD, serving alongside iconic Judges including Dredd and Chief Judge Cal in Mega-City One's oppressive Hall of Justice.

Born into the gritty, satirical world of British comics at their most inventive, Judge Pepper made their debut in 1978's 2000 AD and Starlord #92, conjured by creators John Howard and Brett Ewins right in the thick of the Bronze Age. Pepper inhabits the hard-edged precinct of IPC's legendary 2000 AD universe, sharing panels with some of its most iconic figures — Judge Dredd, Chief Judge Cal, Judge Giant, and others who define that sprawling, darkly comic future. It's a rarefied company to keep, and Pepper's presence across nearly three decades of publication — from 1978 all the way to 2006 — speaks to a staying power that casual readers might not expect from a supporting player. For collectors hunting the deep cuts of the Judge Dredd mythology and the Complete Case Files, Judge Pepper is exactly the kind of discovery that rewards a thorough dig through the canon.
