SJS Chief Judge Buell

Stepping out of the shadows of Mega-City One's most feared internal affairs division, SJS Chief Judge Buell made their debut in Judge Dredd Megazine #1 in 2001, arriving at the dawn of the Modern Age with all the quiet menace you'd expect from the head of the Special Judicial Squad. Over a quarter-century of publication across 2000 AD and the celebrated Complete Case Files, Buell has kept formidable company — sharing pages with Joe Dredd himself, Chief Judge Hershey, and a cast of Mega-City heavyweights — which tells you everything about the weight this character carries in the sprawling Judge Dredd universe. With 27 catalog appearances spread across Rebellion's flagship titles, Buell is one of those richly textured supporting figures who gives the world of the Judges its political depth and moral complexity. If you're serious about understanding the machinery of power behind the Hall of Justice, Buell is absolutely worth tracking down.
