Juez Supremo Batista

Emerging from the pages of 2000 AD #624 in 1989 — the British anthology that redefined edgy, satirical science fiction comics — Juez Supremo Batista is a Copper Age creation brought to life by Hilary Robinson and Nigel Dobbyn, two talents who knew how to make the most of that legendary weekly's sprawling universe. With a title suggesting high authority in a Spanish-speaking jurisdiction of the future, this character occupies a fascinating corner of the Judge Dredd cosmos, sharing pages with icons like Judge Dredd himself, Judge Hershey, and even Rogue Trooper. Preserved across nearly two decades of publication and collected in the essential Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files, Juez Supremo Batista is a rare and intriguing figure for the dedicated completist — proof that 2000 AD's world-building stretched far beyond Mega-City One's familiar streets.
