Major Story Arcs
Brit-Cit’s top street judge, Judge Armour worked alongside his Mega-City One counterpart, Judge Dredd, when both lawmen did a tour of duty in Atlantis, an underwater metropolis that serves as a waystation in the trans-Atlantic tunnel, and which is jointly administered by the Mega-City One and Brit-Cit Justice Departments. Armour later worked as Judge Hershey’s liaison during her first visit to Brit-Cit.
Years later, when Sabbat’s zombie armies attacked all the world’s Mega-Cities, Judge Armour was one of the delegates to the international gathering of Judges from across the globe held in Hondo City. Using information provided by time-travelling bounty hunter Johnny Alpha, Sabbat’s hideout was located, and the decision was taken to attack the necromancer with a taskforce composed of one representative judge from each Mega-City. Armour was Brit-Cit’s chosen agent, but was killed during the mission.
