Mary Turner

Stepping out of the pages of Judge Dredd the Megazine in 1991, Mary Turner is a Copper/Modern Age creation from the sharp minds of Alan Grant and Will Simpson, born into the gritty, satirical world of Mega-City One that Rebellion built around its most famous lawman. Over a remarkable 26-year publishing span, she carved out a presence in that universe, sharing stories with heavyweights like Judge Dredd himself and the sharp-edged Detective Judge Armitage and Detective Judge Treasure Steel — serious company that speaks to her place in this world's rich ensemble. She may not have the headline recognition of Dredd, but characters who endure across nearly three decades in that demanding fictional landscape earn their stripes the hard way, and for fans who love the deeper corners of the Megazine's universe, Mary Turner is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging into back issues so rewarding.
