46 Years Later, Judge Dredd's Best Villain Quote Has Never Been Beaten

The best quote in the Judge Dredd franchise wasn't uttered by the titular anti-hero. Created in the late 1970s against a backdrop of economic stagnation, 2000 AD abandoned the idealistic futures of traditional American science fiction to deliver a hyper-violent metropolis populated by mutated freaks and totalitarian police. Its cyberpunk themes were packaged inside a fast-paced and action-heavy comic strip format that paved the way for one of the most famous sci-fi anti-heroes who reside in the near future, Judge Dredd.
