COMING SOON: 'The Batman/Judge Dredd: Judgement on Gotham' Anniversary Edition!

The Caped Crusader meets the Lawman of the Future – in a brand new oversized edition!


Rebellion is proud to announce the Batman/Judge Dredd: Judgement on Gotham Anniversary Edition.

One of the bestselling Judge Dredd comics of all time, this new edition of the critically-acclaimed and award-winning Judgement on Gotham by John Wagner (A History of Violence), Alan Grant (Detective Comics) and Simon Bisley (Lobo) brings a classic back into print in a way it’s never been seen before!

Due for publication for the UK in May, this new edition of the original Batman/Judge Dredd crossover will not only be reprinted in a larger format than ever before, but will use brand new scans of the original printing film from 1992 – carefully restored by Rebellion’s experienced reprographics teams – to present Bisley's groundbreaking fully-painted artwork in a glorious new light.

Batman/Judge Dredd: Judgement on Gotham Anniversary Edition promises to be a stunning showcase of one of the 1990s’ most iconic comics crossovers!

Originally published in 1991, Judgement on Gotham pitted the Ultimate Lawman against the Dark Knight Detective, with Judge Dredd and his psychic colleague Judge Anderson forced to team up with Batman after the undead arch-fiend Judge Death escapes from Mega-City One to Gotham City and, alongside The Scarecrow, wreaks havoc – from murdering the masses to headlining a rock concert!

It was not only the first time these two legendary characters had come together on the page, but was also the moment that Bisley became an international comics superstar – fresh from his work on Sláine for 2000 AD, his intense and anarchic fully-painted art fitted perfectly with Wagner and Grant’s explosive story, filled with iconic moments that delighted fans of both characters and spawned a further three crossover stories.

Judgement on Gotham was the winner of the Penguin Books Award for Best Graphic Novel and UK Comic Art Award for Best Original Graphic Novel, as well as a nominee for the Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album: New, and also saw Bisley win the Best Artist Eisner Award and UK Comic Art Award in 1992. Bisley went on to work on the wildly popular Lobo, while Grant wrote an acclaimed run on Batman and Wagner set about redefining his ground-breaking character, Judge Dredd, in the pages of the Judge Dredd Megazine and 2000 AD.

Available only for the UK market, this brand new 64-page, over-sized edition of Judgement on Gotham will give both new readers and fans of the original the unparalleled opportunity to see Wagner, Grant and Bisley’s energy and vision with fresh eyes.

Batman/Judge Dredd: Judgement on Gotham Anniversary Edition will be published on 6 May, and will be available from all good book and comic book stores in the UK, as well as from the 2000 AD webshop at 2000AD.com!

It proposes conspiracy theories can be all-too-real and for Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, and Dave St...
