Judge Rutherford

Judge Rutherford is a street judge serving in the brutal future megalopolis of Mega-City One, operating within the same law-enforcement hierarchy as Judge Dredd and occasionally crossing paths with fellow judges including Psi Judge Anderson.

Stepping onto the mean streets of Mega-City One in 1999, Judge Rutherford is a figure from the gritty Modern Age of British comics, born from the legendary partnership of writer John Wagner and artist Mike McMahon in the pages of 2000 AD. Over nearly two decades, this Judge has kept some seriously distinguished company — sharing the page with icons like Judge Dredd himself, Psi Judge Anderson, and the darkly comic Finnigan Sinister across 2000 AD, the Judge Dredd Megazine, and the Complete Case Files collections. A relatively rare presence with just ten catalogued appearances, Rutherford carries that particular mystique of a character who surfaces selectively in one of comics' most celebrated universes. For collectors who love digging into the deeper bench of Dredd's world, this is exactly the kind of find that rewards a thorough read-through.
