Description"Crime and Punishment¨October 1978 Is Judge Dredd innocent or GUILTY? This is a very early Brian Bolland's work on his mythical run on 2000AD (JUDGE DREDD). That work turned him into a very influential artist not only in Judge Dredd character but also in the industry. His bold inks are precise and beautiful. I'm still astonished and grateful for having this amazing title splash. My first artwork by this superb artist. IMHO this is a cover quality title splash. Art is HUGE (14x20) and signed by the artist. First historic appearance of Judge Cal(igula), Deputy Chief Judge Cal and soon to be Chief Judge. I have to say thank you to my new buddy Borja. "I never broke the law! I AM THE LAW!" Judge Dredd Social/Sharing |

Iconic. This must be one of the earliest depictions of Dredd's enormous shoulder pads. The original design by Ezquerra (and McMahon) started a lot smaller. Well done!

I find this splash wonderful because it is a splash of Judge Dreed in its original 2000 AD publication. It is also one of the first stories drawn by the master Brian Bolland. A great page, congratulations

Masterful with Bolland's art showing the slumping shoulders of Dredd. So much more effective when seeing this from the back as his normal body language is emboldened when the Law is on his side. You can almost believe that his facial expression is the opposite of the fiery Judge Cal before him.

Awesome! I wasn't a JD reader, but I'm aware of his importance to comicdom, and very familiar with Bolland's work...what a great example for both! Unreal line work, and you can tell a helluva story's being set up! Big congrats, Toni!

Wowza! What a cool Brian Bolland Judge Dredd title splash! I love this piece, with Dredd facing the judges, hanging his head low in shame. It's so beautifully composed and drawn! I love the small top panel showcasing the futuristic Mega City One. And I love the faces of the Judges accusing Dredd. The whole page is perfect, and the inking is superb! Great use of screentones as well. Really, everything about this splash is perfect...except it's not in my collection. Bummer.

Is there any point in saying a Bolland page is awesome? Of COURSE there is!! This page is AWESOME!!
However, how can Dredd be guilty of murder? According to Sly Stallone, Dredd IS the law!
