Tek-Judge Brufen

Tek-Judge Brufen is a technical specialist serving Mega-City One's Justice Department, operating out of its tech-labs alongside the broader Judge Dredd cast. Tek-Judges handle forensic and technological support for the city's Judge corps.

Stepping out of the tech-labs of Mega-City One, Tek-Judge Brufen made their debut in 2000 AD #457 in 1986 — introduced by the legendary team of Alan Moore and Ian Gibson at the height of British comics' most exciting era. Though a figure of modest page count, Brufen moves in rarefied company, sharing stories with Judge Dredd, Judge Hershey, and the Chief Judges themselves, which speaks to a recurring presence at the heart of the Judge Dredd universe across a remarkable 28-year span. One of those appearances carries genuine key-issue weight, making Brufen a small but collectible thread in the rich tapestry of 2000 AD lore. For fans who love the deep roster of Mega-City One's sprawling cast, a Moore-and-Gibson creation is always worth tracking down.
