Judge Roake

Judge Roake is a street judge operating in the vast, crime-ridden metropolis of Mega-City One, working within the same brutal justice system as Judge Dredd and appearing alongside figures like Judge Beeny.

Born into the unforgiving world of Mega-City One, Judge Roake made their debut in 2000 AD #1569 in 2008, brought to life by the legendary team of John Wagner and Colin MacNeil — a creative pairing that knows Dredd's world better than almost anyone. Over nearly two decades of publication, this Modern Age figure has carved out a steady presence across 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files collections, sharing the page with heavyweights like Judge Dredd himself, Judge Beeny, and the notorious P. J. Maybe. With 26 catalog appearances and at least one key collector issue to their name, Judge Roake is exactly the kind of character that rewards the dedicated reader who digs deeper into the rich, sprawling tapestry of Mega-City One's Hall of Justice.
