Starlord (comics)
''Starlord'' was a short-lived weekly British science fiction comic book magazine published by IPC in 1978 as a sister title to '' 2000 AD'', which had been launched the previous year in anticipation of a science fiction boom surrounding ''Star Wars''. ''Starlord'' was planned as a fortnightly title for older readers, with longer stories and higher production values than ''2000 AD'' and the rest of the IPC boys' comics stable, but this proved too ambitious. Episodes were shortened, the number of colour pages was reduced, although the better quality paper and printing were retained, and ''Starlord'' was published weekly at a higher cover price than ''2000 AD''. Stories Stories included: * ''Strontium Dog'', a series about a mutant bounty hunter created by writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra. * ''Ro-Busters'', a robot disaster squad created by writer Pat Mills and artist Kevin O'Neill, although it was more usually drawn by Carlos Pino or Dave Gibbons. * ''Mind Wars'', ...

Judge Dredd By Carlos Ezquerra 1977
A judge is a person who presides over court proceedings, either alone or as a part of a panel of judges. A judge hears all the witnesses and any other evidence presented by the barristers or solicitors of the case, assesses the credibility and arguments of the parties, and then issues a ruling in the case based on their interpretation of the law and their own personal judgment. A judge is expected to conduct the trial impartially and, typically, in an open court. The powers, functions, method of appointment, discipline, and training of judges vary widely across different jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions, the judge's powers may be shared with a jury. In inquisitorial systems of criminal investigation, a judge might also be an examining magistrate. The presiding judge ensures that all court proceedings are lawful and orderly. Powers and functions The ultimate task of a judge is to settle a legal dispute in a final and publicly lawful manner in agreement with substantial ...
