Judge Dredd: Dredd vs Death Statue

4th September, 2007 - First 4 Figures and Dark Horse Comics are proud to present an ongoing collection inspired by the one of the world's greatest comic book characters, Judge Dredd. Patrolling the mean streets of Mega City One, a polluted megapolis of 700 million, Judge Dredd stands as one of the most iconic and long lasting characters to emerge from the British comics scene.

Originally published in the pages of Fleetway's 2000 AD magazine since 1977, the very best of the British writers and artists have turned their hand to Judge Dredd.

Perhaps Dredd's greatest foe is none other than Death himself! Descending from a parallel dimension, the rictus-grinned, visored entity can penetrate and occupy any host - with disastrous results. All life is a crime to Death.

This statue is inspired by one of the most famous art pieces - a cover by artist Greg Staples. The swirling form of Death is locked in savage combat with the tough-as-steel Dredd. Two relentless adversaries are frozen in time at a climactic moment in a fatal struggle.

The fully hand painted statue is minutely detailed, stands 11.5" tall and comes securely packaged in deluxe full color packaging. Includes Certificate of Authenticity. Strictly limited to 1,000 numbered statues for Worldwide distribution, it is likely that only a small number will reach U.S. shores. The statue will be exclusively distributed by Dark Horse Comics in the U.S.
