Judge Preen

Born from the legendary creative partnership of John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra, Judge Preen stepped onto the mean streets of Mega-City One in 1998, a Modern Age addition to the sprawling, satirical world of 2000 AD. Though a figure of modest appearance count, Preen occupies a corner of one of comics' most beloved and enduring universes, sharing pages with titans of the Judge Dredd mythos including Dredd himself, Judge DeMarco, and Judge Hubble. For collectors diving deep into the Complete Case Files or hunting through 2000 AD back issues, characters like Preen are the texture that makes that world feel genuinely populated — a small piece of a very big, gloriously brutal puzzle.
