Judge Death - Judge Death's Appearance

Judge Death's Appearance

Judge Death appears in something close to a Judge's helmet, though its modified visor resembles a portcullis. Many 2000 AD illustrations make use of the visor as a visual shorthand for Judge Death. His mouth is pulled into a toothy rictus. On his right shoulder is a pterosaur, as opposed to the Judges' eagles. His left shoulder pad and elbow pads are festooned with bones. His tunic is fastened with crude stitches rather than a zipper, and his badge and belt buckle are shaped like a human skull with extended fangs, the latter with bat wings.

Famous quotes containing the words judge, death and/or appearance:

    Public opinion is the best judge of who’s right and who’s wrong.
    Chinese proverb.

    Solomon! where is thy throne? It is gone in the wind.
    Babylon! where is thy might? It is gone in the wind.
    Happy in death are they only whose hearts have consigned
    All Earth’s affections and longings and cares to the wind.
    James Clarence Mangan (1803–1849)

    Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.
    Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
