While he always gets his man, Dredd is but one man and with the constant unrest and upheaval making the city a dangerous place, there’s always a need for fresh recruits to join the fight. A dour, humorless man, utterly committed to punishing lawbreakers and keeping the peace, he has squared off against some of the most notorious criminals to have terrorized his city. Of all the Judges enforcing the law in Mega-City One, the most feared and respected is Judge Dredd. Easily recognized by their distinctive helmets and uniforms, Judges cut distinctive figures in Mega-City One, evoking fear, favor, and hatred in equal measure from the people they would protect. No simple cops, Judges have complete power to enforce the law by any means they deem necessary, sentencing and convicting any criminals they catch, even executing them when necessary. Mega-City One’s size and sprawl makes enforcing law and order difficult, and so the city employs special law enforcement agents called Judges to patrol the city and police its streets. The most important mega-city, and the primary setting for the Judge Dredd stories, is Mega-City One.
Civilization now huddles in vast mega-cities, conurbations encompassing massive stretches of land. After a series of disastrous global wars, much of the planet has been reduced to a radioactive wasteland, vast stretches of which are uninhabitable, both from the radiation and the mutated horrors that make their home in the Cursed Earth.
