Judge Sternhagen

Emerging from the gritty, satirical world of Mega-City One in 1995, Judge Sternhagen is a Fleetway Publications character who debuted in Judge Dredd the Megazine #73, brought to life by the legendary John Wagner and the distinctive visual voice of Ashley Wood. Over a span stretching into 2016, this figure has kept some seriously heavyweight company — sharing pages with Judge Dredd himself, Psi Judge Anderson, and Judge Playback — placing Sternhagen squarely within the dense, darkly compelling ecosystem of one of British comics' most celebrated universes. With appearances across both Judge Dredd the Megazine and the curated Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection, Sternhagen may not be the most prolific presence in the catalog, but any character touched by Wagner's pen and Wood's visceral artistry is worth tracking down for the serious collector of Modern Age British comics.
