Space Judge Vess

Space Judge Vess is a law enforcer operating in the far-future universe of Judge Dredd, appearing alongside Joe Dredd himself and fellow Space Judges in the pages of 2000 AD. As a Space Judge, Vess upholds interstellar order in the sprawling, law-obsessed cosmos of that setting.

Emerging from the pages of 2000 AD in 1994 — that legendary British anthology that gave the world some of comics' most distinctive voices — Space Judge Vess is a creation of the formidable John Wagner and artist John Burns, two names that carry serious weight in the Fleetway stable. Operating in the far-flung, law-and-order-obsessed universe that 2000 AD built across decades, Vess keeps remarkable company, sharing adventures with none other than Joe Dredd himself alongside fellow Space Judges Tarantino, Linehan, Keitel, and Turner. With appearances stretching from 1994 all the way to 2016, this is a character whose presence in that universe proved quietly durable — and for collectors hunting the deeper corners of 2000 AD lore and the Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection, Space Judge Vess is exactly the kind of find that rewards the dedicated reader willing to dig past the obvious.
