“No, no, that won’t do. That spot just doesn’t meet the qualifications for a bomb. Perhaps three feet to the left. Oh. The Wizard. Technically, this tunnel isn’t zoned for magical combat. But I’ll break regulations this time. Then I’ll break your face!” – Zoning Judge Anderson
Judge Cassandra Anderson is a fictional law enforcer and psychic appearing in the British science fiction comics 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Magazine. Created by writer John Wagner and artist Brian Bolland, Anderson made her debut as a supporting character in the Judge Dredd story “Judge Death” (2000 AD #150, February 1980). The character’s popularity with readers led to her starring in her own series, Anderson: Psi-Division, which (since 1988) has been written almost exclusively by Alan Grant, often working with artist Arthur Ranson until 2005; Boo Cook drew a majority of the stories until 2012, since which a number of different artists have worked on the strip. In 2012, the character appeared in the film Dredd, played by Olivia Thirlby.
Like the mythical Cassandra (the sister of Paris of Troy), Judge Anderson (b. 2080) has psychic powers, chiefly telepathy and precognition. These abilities made her a member of Mega-City One’s ‘Psi Division’ of Judges.
The character debuts during the first attack by Judge Death of the Dark Judges (a group of nihilistic undead Judges). During this encounter, Anderson is possessed by Judge Death but then thwarts him by having herself entombed in “Boing”, a tough but porous material. This lasts until the Dark Judges free her to release Judge Death, whereafter Anderson returns to active duty. She is instrumental in stopping this first attack by the Dark Judges, as well as several others. Due to being possessed and manipulated by them, Anderson develops a personal hatred of the Dark Judges.
