Kaufman

Kaufman is a supporting character from the Judge Dredd universe, appearing in a Garth Ennis-written story in 2000 AD. Associated with figures like Grice and Governor Khurtz, Kaufman inhabits the franchise's darkly satirical, politically charged corner of the dystopian future.

Emerging from the gritty pages of 2000 AD in 1993, Kaufman is a Copper/Modern Age creation of Garth Ennis and M. Austin, born into the darkly satirical world of Fleetway Publications' flagship anthology. With appearances stretching across more than two decades, this character inhabits some notably charged company — sharing pages with Judge Dredd himself alongside figures like Grice, Governor Khurtz, and the provocatively named Charles Windsor and Bundy — suggesting stories that revel in the anarchic, politically charged storytelling 2000 AD does best. Most prominently featured in the Purgatory storyline and its collected editions, Kaufman is a compact but intriguing presence for any fan who wants to dig into Ennis's early, boundary-pushing work in the Judge Dredd universe.
