>>155110624Every ten to fifteen years they do a literal rejuvenation treatment on Dredd to de age him
>>155111421He does have to die of old age at some point anon, it's not like he was a spring chicken when the series started
>>155111623Haven’t you been keeping up? Rico is Dredd now. Anything is possible.
>>155109821Okay.
>>155109821Wow! 50 years already?
>>155114094Yep, 1977 was a long time ago now
>>155109821I can't believe it has been 50 years since Judge Dredd first appeared.
>>155111640That only occurred due to wierd magic/pysic nonsence in the current storyline
>>155116718He’ll stick around.
