She’s the only judge that can give Judge Dredd a run for his money – and now Judge Anderson has her first collection for the US and Canada!
In the urban nightmare of Mega-City One, the judges are tough lawmen with the ability to act as judge, jury and executioner. But in a section known as ‘Psi-Division’, those gifted with extraordinary psychic abilities play their part in fighting crime.
Cassandra Anderson is the greatest Psi-Judges – a powerful telepath with a rebellious streak and a talent for getting into trouble...
From tracing criminals using only her mind to combating supernatural horrors, Anderson is the antidote to the hard-line violence of Dredd – strong, female and unbelievably sassy!
This new edition for the US and Canada includes never-before collected Judge Anderson stories by 2000 AD legend Alan Grant (Batman) and featuring stunning artwork from Carlos Ezquerra (Judge Dredd, The Boys), Boo Cook (Elephantmen) and Trevor Hairsine (Cla$$war).
And with a mind-bending cover by Brendan McCarthy (Spiderman: Fever) you don’t need to be psychic to know that you need to add this book to your collection!
Out on 17th January ISBN 978-1-907992-54-4 $20.99
About the creative team
A long-time writing partner of Judge Dredd co-creator John Wagner, Alan Grant is well-known to Batman fans and recently adapted Robert Louis Stevenson’s novels Kidnapped and Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde with artist Cam Kennedy. His television work includes scripts for the BBC series Ace Lightning and the Carnival of Doom.
Co-creator of Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog, Carlos Ezquerra is a legend in British comics. As well as his extensive 2000 AD work, he also illustrated Third World War in Crisis magazine, and has since regularly worked with Garth Ennis.
Trevor Hairsine worked on Strontium Dogs, co-created Harmony and illustrated Judge Anderson, Judge Dredd, Mercy Heights and Missionary Man. He pencilled Com.X’s Cla$$war, and also Captain America and Ultimate Six for Marvel Comics.
Boo Cook’s quirky action-led designs quickly led to three co-created series including Asylum, Dead Men Walking, Harry Kipling (Deceased) and Judge Anderson. Cook is enjoying great success working on Image Comics’ Elephantmen.
Patrick Goddard is co-creator of Wardog, has penciled Judge Dredd, Mean Machine, Middenface McNulty and Sinister Dexter, and took over the art duties on Savage from Charlie Adlard.
