Judge Alvin was the first Judge to appear in a Judge Dredd story in 2000 AD, appearing in the second prog even before Judge Dredd himself (though Dredd had appeared in an advert in Prog 1).
Role in 2000 A.D.[]
Alvin is killed with a laser cannon by the perp known as Whitey and his corpse is sent back to Justice HQ. In a flashback to Christmas 2098 (Tour of Duty: Bethlehem), Alvin is shown to be a bore who won't stop talking about being the upcoming Luna-1 Judge-Marshall.
Trivia[]
- Alvin's Luna-1 job, and his regaling Dredd with how great robots are, are joking references to early Dredd storylines. (It also implies Dredd got the job as Judge-Marshall because Alvin had been killed)
