Nero Narcos

Nero Narcos is a ruthless crime lord villain in the Judge Dredd universe of 2000 AD, operating in the brutal, satirical future of Mega-City One. A formidable enough adversary to challenge even Dredd himself across multiple story arcs.

Emerging from the gritty, satirical universe of 2000 AD in 1995, Nero Narcos is a villain who made enough of an impression to linger in the Judge Dredd cosmos for over two decades — no small feat in a world patrolled by the likes of Judge Dredd himself and the formidable Psi Judge Anderson. Brought to life by the legendary John Wagner and artist John Higgins, this Copper/Modern Age creation debuted in the pages that defined British comics' most irreverent era, and went on to appear across 2000 AD, the Judge Dredd Megazine, and the beloved Complete Case Files collections. With 19 catalogued appearances spanning from 1995 to 2017, Narcos is the kind of character who earns his place in Mega-City One's rogue's gallery through sheer staying power, sharing panels with some of the most iconic figures in 2000 AD history — including the sardonic Finnigan Sinister and the unpredictable Ray Dexter. If you're building out your knowledge of the deeper, darker corners of the Dreddverse, Nero Narcos is absolutely worth tracking down.
