Description
Judge Death 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.

John Wagner and Brian Bolland are responsible for creating the character of Judge Death. His first appearance is in 2000 AD #149.

A twisted creature from another dimension, Judge Death reasoned that since all crime was committed by the living, life itself was unlawful, and he set out to destroy all existence. Once a young boy called Sidney De'Ath, the warped son of a dentist, who torture his patients and would sometimes kill them, Sidney grew up admiring his father's work saying it had a prolonged affect on him.

As he grew up, torture was not enough and he wanted to bring justice to his world and the only way possible was by becoming a Judge. On the day of his graduation his mother and sister left, hoping to run away, but Sidney found them and tortured and killed them. The turning point for Sydney was discovering the Sisters of Death (two witches called Phobia and Nausia). With their help he became the undead monster Judge Death, before repeating the procedure on three other Judges. They became Judge Fear, Fire and Mortis - The Dark Judges.

Judge Death's first battle with Judge Dredd did not go well. His body was destroyed and his spirit possessed Judge Anderson. Dredd's only hope of stopping him was to encase Anderson in Boing (a hard gelatinous substance). The other Dark Judges crossed over and set Death free. Together they slaughtered thousands of citizens and it took the combined skill of Dredd and Anderson (still alive, and removed from the Boing, once Death had left her body) to stop them. Over the years, the Dark Judges have returned, but have always been defeated by Dredd or Anderson.
