Dredd meets his maker

At last Dredd manages to track down the guy who burnt him alive, gouged his eyes out and shot him through the head - Dredd co-creator, John Wagner!


Back in June, Judge Minty cast regular and Dredd costumer Darren Beddows asked if he could use a Judge Costume to attend the twentieth anniverasy of his local comic shop 'Infinity and Beyond' in Shrewsbury. I said, sure, I'll courier it to you, but when he said John Wagner was attending, I immediately offered to bring it personally!

Darren did his usual great job as Dredd (he's probably spent more time in the costume than anyone, apart from perhaps Edmund Dehn). Hassling the crowd and handing out beatings is always popular, but by far the highlight was meeting John Wagner, sharing a little about our project and receiving some words of encouragement.

Thanks again for this cool photo!
