Judge-Sergeant Charlie Joyce

Judge-Sergeant Charlie Joyce is a street-level Judge operating in the dystopian Mega-City One, the setting of Judge Dredd. A non-commissioned officer rank within the Justice Department, Joyce navigates the brutally satirical world of future law enforcement alongside figures such as Judge Dredd and Chief Judge McGruder.

Debuting in the pages of 2000 AD #727 in 1991, Judge-Sergeant Charlie Joyce is a product of the British comics renaissance — brought to life by the legendary team of Garth Ennis and Dillon at the height of the Copper Age. Over a span stretching remarkably into 2016, this Fleetway creation carved out a place in the dense, darkly satirical world of Mega-City One, sharing the page with titans like Judge Dredd, Chief Judge McGruder, and Judge Hershey. With 24 catalog appearances spread across 2000 AD and the definitive Complete Case Files and Mega Collection volumes, Joyce may not be the most prolific figure in the galaxy's toughest precinct — but any character who endures for a quarter-century in that company, under those creators, is absolutely worth seeking out.
