That includes three 2000AD Regened all-ages volumes, the launch of Full Tilt Boogie by Alex De Campi and Eduardo Ocaña as what Rebellion describe their tentpole release for the year – "a planet-conquering, prince rescuing, and ramen eating new space opera, described by The Hollywood Reporter as Saga meets The Last Airbender… Young Tee is a wannabe bounty hunter who, along with her grandmother and cat, takes odd-jobs while flying across the galaxy in her ship the Full Tilt Boogie, constantly on the lookout for the bigger, better payday And they celebrate the folk horror revival with the collection of Thistlebone by TC Eglington and Simon Davis, "a chilling story about a secluded rural village that holds a dark secret…" There's also Sláine: Dragontamer by Pat Mills and Leonardo Manco – more on that to come, and the rerelease of the original 2000 AD adaptation by Kelvin Gosnell and Carlos Ezquerra of Harry Harrison's The Stainless Steel Rat. So for 2021, they are ramping up, increasing their title count by a third – and Bleeding Cool has their entire list for 2021. His first appearance is in 2000 AD #149.Their graphic novel line took a bit of a beating, however, especially when titles were published in East Asia. John Wagner and Brian Bolland are responsible for creating the character of Judge Death. After a long absence, Death was brought back for the storyline Dark Justice, in which once again he was presented in a sinister light, with very little humor.

John Wagner decided to rectify this in the solo Death story My Name Is Death, and while later strip The Wilderness Days added humour to Death’s tale, he was still a menacing and unstoppable killer Alan Grant’s Half Life, released at the same time, also treated Death as pure, unstoppable evil. For instance, in the Judge Dredd/Batman crossover graphic novel Judgement on Gotham, Death was used as a practically comical figure. However, later stories have tended to present him in a much more humorous light. In his first appearances his image was dark, sinister and menacing. The representation of Judge Death in the Judge Dredd and related comic strips has changed somewhat in character over the years. After years of appearing in Judge Dredd stories, he later got his own series in the Judge Dredd Megazine and in 2000 AD. He is the leader of the Dark Judges, a sinister group of undead law enforcers from the alternate dimension of Deadworld, where all life has been declared a crime since only the living commit crimes. Judge Death is a fictional character of the Judge Dredd stories in the UK comic 2000 AD.
