Ric Jaeger

Emerging from the gritty, rain-slicked pages of Judge Dredd the Megazine in 1995, Ric Jaeger is a Copper/Modern Age creation born from the fertile imaginations of John Wagner and the distinctively raw-edged Ashley Wood — a pairing that alone signals something worth seeking out. Over a span stretching into 2016, this Fleetway Publications character has kept remarkable company, sharing adventures with Judge Dredd himself, the legendary Psi Judge Anderson, and a cast of Mega-City lawbringers that places Ric firmly within one of British comics' most celebrated universes. With appearances collected in Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection alongside the Megazine run, Ric Jaeger may be a compact presence in the catalog, but in the world of 2000 AD fandom, even six appearances in that company carry genuine weight.
