Hershey Concludes in 2000 AD Prog 2349
Reading time: 1 minute
The story of former Chief Judge Barbara Hershey is rattling towards its conclusion.
Hershey, a former street Judge who held the highest position in the city, has been a prominent character in Judge Dredd's world since its creation by John Wagner and Brian Bolland in 1980.

Hershey has been both a friend and foe to Dredd, and her lifetime of service is coming to a close with a story of revenge and retribution.
Her past and uncertain future fuse together in the third and final book of Rob Williams, Simon Fraser and Simon Bowland's 'Hershey', as seen in the latest issue of 2000 AD – which is currently available in newsagents and through 2000 AD's webstore!
After Dredd's infamous "I no longer recognise your authority" comment in the middle of the Grand Hall with a lot of Judge witnesses, Hershey decided it was time to take the Long Walk, where she's been determined to neutralise the remaining operations and agents of the now dead Judge Smiley.
Having faked her death, Hershey is seriously ill from an incurable virus as she attempts to deal with an alien outbreak that could destroy her beloved city.
But all debts come due. And time is running out.
Hershey will conclude in 2000 AD Prog 2349, out on the 13th of September. You won't want to miss this!
