Vitus Dance

Emerging from the gritty, satirical world of 2000 AD in 1995, Vitus Dance is a Copper/Modern Age creation brought to life by the legendary John Wagner and artist Chris Weston — a pedigree that immediately signals this is a character worth paying attention to. With a name as memorably offbeat as the British anthology that birthed them, Vitus Dance inhabits the same ink-stained streets as Judge Dredd himself, sharing pages with Joe Dredd, the roguish Nikolai Dante, and SJS Deputy Chief Muncie across more than two decades of appearances. Thirteen catalog entries spanning 1995 to 2017 speak to a staying power that casual readers might overlook, but dedicated 2000 AD devotees will recognize as a mark of genuine longevity in one of comics' most demanding universes. If you love the dark, sardonic edge of Mega-City One and the creative firepower Wagner consistently brought to its corners, Vitus Dance is exactly the kind of discovery that makes deep-diving into the Complete Case Files so rewarding.
