The series is also notable for its moral complexity. By his very nature and purpose, {{Antihero}} Dredd is an unapologetic fascist, firmly committed to his organisation's brutal and ruthless methods of law enforcement, but it's firmly established that the society of Mega-City-One would collapse without him and his fellow Judges, and more than once ''has''. Though Dredd is impeccably honest and honorable, has had some PetTheDog moments throughout the years, and has been given cause to question his purpose more than once, democracy within his society is depicted as simply unworkable.
As well being the hero of the longest-running strip in ''2000AD'', having appeared since the second issue, Dredd has appeared in his own series of comics and audio plays from BigFinish.
