This is my entry for the 2000AD All Start Competition 2023 consisting of creating a single-page comic featuring the character Judge Dredd. I wrote a story about a gang of mutants that traffics with toxic waste and how Judge Dredd intervenes to stop them and enforce the law!
I showed my Judge Dredd comic at the Hidden Show 2023 at the Royal College of Art in Battersea, London, printed as an A2 poster in Somerset Fine Art paper.
I read many Judge Dredd stories from the Complete Case Files to create my comic and paid special attention to Ian Gibson' stories.
Below you can see photos of the digital inkjet print:
I like to use meta-techniques in my comics and the gutter as a narrative space. In this comic, the mutants always appear in the gutter, they are outlaws hiding from the Judges!
It was not easy to compress a story with a beginning, middle, and end within a single page so I worked a lot on the story, script, and page layout. Taking part in the 2000AD competition was a great opportunity to experiment with the format and have fun.
Apart from the inkjet art print, I printed a risograph version myself:
