Judge de Gaulle

A denizen of the sprawling, satirical future-law universe that made 2000 AD legendary, Judge de Gaulle stepped onto the page in 1982 — the Bronze Age height of British comics' most irreverent sci-fi anthology — courtesy of Grant, Grover, and the wonderfully distinctive linework of Ian Gibson. Over a run stretching nearly four decades, this judge has kept some seriously prestigious company: sharing pages with Judge Dredd himself, Judge Hershey, Chief Judge McGruder, and other pillars of Mega-City jurisprudence. Seven appearances may make Judge de Gaulle a supporting player rather than a headliner, but in the dense, richly populated world of the Case Files, even a face in the crowd carries the weight of that gloriously absurdist universe — and for the dedicated completist, that's more than enough reason to seek them out.
