Low Life is a comics story published in British anthology 2000 AD. Set in the world of Judge Dredd, it was created by Rob Williams [1] and Henry Flint. [2]
Simon Coleby, [3] Rufus Dayglo and D'Israeli have also illustrated the strip. It is about undercover judges.
Aimee Nixon, a female judge who has voluntarily had her left arm removed and replaced with a robotic prosthetic. Can beat any lie detector. Her appearance is based on " Courtney Love with a broken nose".[ citation needed] She was arrested and sentenced to 20 years' hard labour in the prison colony on Titan, after which she was replaced as the lead character of Low Life by supporting character Dirty Frank. Later, in a Judge Dredd story, she led a prison mutiny and mass escape.
Dirty Frank, a judge who has been undercover so long that he has lost his sanity. Refers to himself in third person, has dubious personal hygiene and can urinate for twenty three minutes non-stop. According to the introduction in the collected graphic novel, his physical appearance is based on Alan Moore.
Eric "Mortal" Coil, a Judge who foolishly volunteered for a mission to track down a lost object in the Cursed Earth and ended up turned into an intelligent baby.
Thora, a female judge who has undergone face and body changes to appear much older.
