Eagle Comics · Judge Dredd #10 · August 1984
Grade: NM- 9.2
Cover by Brian Bolland, signed “Bolland” lower left.
Eagle Comics launched in 1983 as the dedicated US imprint for Quality Communications, bringing 2000 AD strips to American newsstands in a reformatted package. Issue #10 reprints material originally serialized in 2000 AD, including Judge Dredd stories from the early Mega-City One run. Specific story titles and precise interior credits for this issue are not confirmed in our records — we won't reconstruct them from assumption.
What is confirmed: Brian Bolland's cover for this issue is the so-called “Judge Fish” cover — the Dredd eagle badge reimagined with a goldfish in a bowl in place of the eagle. Bolland's signature sits lower left. It's a deadpan visual gag executed with the same drafting precision Bolland brought to everything he touched in this era, and it's one of the more memorable covers in the Eagle Comics run.
Eagle Comics ran 35 issues between 1983 and 1986. The early numbers — Bolland covers especially — hold up as the high-water mark of the line. This is one of those. A signed Bolland cover on a 40-year-old book grading out at 9.2 doesn't happen every day.

We use what the scientists are calling artificial intelligence to research and write our descriptions — it gives us more time to add books to our website and provide you with a wider array of inventory. We think Klaatu would approve. Details are verified but the robot does slip up. We're not infallible. Every book is graded by a human collector who has actually held it.
