Judge Dredd Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Judge Death — Judge Death's first appearance was in 2000 AD Prog 149 (October 1979), not Prog 53 (July 1977).

Judge Death — Judge Death did not kill every living being on Deadworld; some survivors like Judge Fire remained, and he was later imprisoned by the other Dark Judges before escaping.

Judge Anderson — First appearance is 2000 AD Prog 119, but Anderson's first appearance is actually in 2000 AD Prog 124 (or Prog 124, 1979), not Prog 119.

Hershey — First appearance is incorrect: Barbara Hershey first appeared in 2000 AD Prog 189 (1979), not 1980.

Hershey — Status is incorrect: Hershey was killed in 'Day of Chaos' (2011–2012), not in 'Origins'.

The Cursed Earth — The Cursed Earth is located immediately west of Mega-City One: In canon, the Cursed Earth is primarily located to the east and south of Mega-City One, not west.

The Cursed Earth — The nuclear war occurred decades prior to the main timeline: The Atomic War occurred in 2070, and the main timeline of Judge Dredd is set in the late 21st and early 22nd centuries, so it is over a century prior, not just decades.

The Legacy of Chief Justice Fargo — Fargo was not killed by Judge Death; he was placed in suspended animation, and the story 'Judge Death Lives' shows Death's attack leaves him in a coma-like state, not dead.

The Legacy of Chief Justice Fargo — Fargo's first appearance as a living character was in 'Judge Death Lives' (Prog 149-151, 1980), not in 1977 as a living character.

Psycho-Frame Technology — The entry claims 'Psycho-Frame Technology' is the subject, but no such canonical technology exists in Judge Dredd lore; the correct terms are 'Mind-Blockers' and 'Psi-Cages'.

Psycho-Frame Technology — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section claims 'Mega-City One maintains strict classification levels for 'Powers' ranging from minor anomalies to city-destroying threats.' This is not a canonical classification system; the PSI Division uses a 'Psi-Rating' system (e.g., Psi

Dark Judge Necro-Powers — The entry omits 'Judge' from the titles of the core Dark Judges, which is a factual error in naming.

Dark Judge Necro-Powers — The 'Necropolis' storyline is dated as 1990, but it was published from late 1990 into early 1991, so the date is not precisely accurate.

Mega-City Central Computer — The entry states the computer manages 'over two hundred million citizens,' but the population of Mega-City One is canonically around 400 million to 800 million.

Mega-City Central Computer — The entry claims the computer is located 'deep underground beneath the City Center,' but in canon it is located in the Grand Hall of Justice.
