Who is Judge Rico?

Born in the pages of 2000 AD #1188 in 2000, Judge Rico stepped into one of British comics' most iconic universes — the brutal, satirical world of Mega-City One — courtesy of the legendary John Wagner and artist Simon Fraser. Over a remarkable 26-year publishing span, Rico has carved out a genuine place in the Rebellion stable, racking up 82 catalog appearances across 2000 AD, the Judge Dredd Megazine, and the Complete Case Files collections, with at least one key collector-significant issue to their name. The company Rico keeps is as impressive as it gets in this corner of comics — sharing pages with Joe Dredd himself, Chief Judge Hershey, Vienna Dredd, and Judge Giant, placing this character right at the heart of the action. For fans who love the dense, darkly funny world of the Judges, Rico is a Modern Age figure well worth tracking down.
