Marty "Muzak Killer" Zpok

Marty 'Muzak Killer' Zpok is a criminal inhabiting Mega-City One, the dystopian future metropolis of Judge Dredd's world, whose distinctive nickname suggests a very specific — and presumably lethal — grievance against background music.

Few characters announce themselves quite so memorably as Marty "Muzak Killer" Zpok — a name that practically crackles off the page. Debuting in 2000 AD #746 in 1991, this Copper/Modern Age creation of Garth Ennis and Dermot Power emerged from one of British comics' most beloved and anarchic institutions, sharing the mean streets of Mega-City One with none other than Judge Dredd and Judge Dekker. With a catalog run stretching all the way to 2017, Marty has proven durable enough to earn a place in the prestigious Complete Case Files and Mega Collection reprint lines — the hallmark of a character worth revisiting. Nine appearances may be a compact legacy, but in the world of 2000 AD, that's nine chances to be immortalized alongside some of the most iconic names in British comics history.
