Hey there everyone, I'm afraid that this is a fairly short question with not much discussion but can I please ask: is there a list anywhere which just sets out in one place all of the writers and artists who've been credited on a Judge Dredd strip over the years? There is a short one with some of the more famous artists on the Judge Dredd Wiki (https://judgedredd.fandom.com/wiki/Artists) but it's clearly quite thin on the ground and not comprehensive. Is there anywhere better to look?
Barney (http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=thrill&page=profiles&Comic=2000AD&choice=DREDD) says hi.
List up to 2005:
Peter Harris
Kelvin Gosnell
Malcolm Shaw
Charles Herring
John Wagner [like, loads]
Gerry Finley-Day
Pat Mills [with added T-Rex]
Robert Flynn

William Nilly [?]
Alan Grant [like, a lot]
Mark Millar
Garth Ennis
Andy Lanning
Steve White

There may be other writers who haven't made your list...
Yes. It is a silly list. I don't even know what it's for.
Can we be finally told who William Nilley was?
Here's a variation on the list of Dredd writers, in order of who has done most:
https://heroesof2000ad.blogspot.com/2015/04/interlude-dreddcount.html (https://heroesof2000ad.blogspot.com/2015/04/interlude-dreddcount.html)
and while I'm at it, here are the artists, too.

Although these stats are based on 2015 data, so woefully incorrect by today's standards!
I must update them at some point, yup.
Because I definitely don't have a lot of work to do or anything like that. Here's a list of everyone with a writing credit on a Dredd strip in any "core" publication accordign to Barney. This means the Prog, the Meg, any annual, special or yearbook but not DC or IDW Dredd, Metro or Daily Star. It does include Heavy Metal Dredd, crossovers, the movie continuity and Cadet Dredd strips, but nothing else.
There are 56 credited writers:

What about
America, hmmmm? What about the guy that wrote that? You're clearly in league with Big Casefiles.

Thanks a lot for the information everyone, much appreciated.

The following Progs had a re-run episodes and no new Dredd 351,352
Prog 2130,2170,2183,2196,2206 only contained a Cadet Dredd story.
Mike McMahon first artist to draw 50 episodes
Carlos Ezquerra first artist to draw 200 and 250 episodes

Wow, look at PJ go! He's the latest entrant in the Top 20 by quite a margin and he's already at No. 10!
And does it look like Henry finally overtook Colin during End Of Days? Closing in on Ron too.
Bloody hell.
First, put them in a headlock, I would think. Although, he's a big fella, so some sort of horse tranquilizer wouldn't go amiss.
That's amazing broodblik, thanks for all the detail.
Don't know if you saw Broodblik but Henry Flint picked up on this - someone had tweeted a screen grab - and he was saying wow I never knew I was placed so high. Which lead to a discussion joined by Brian Bolland, Dan Cornwell and Mike Carroll amongst others.
You hit the big time!
Thanks I will see if I can find the thread.
I also want to add that the list is up to date with prog 2212 and thus we can congratulate PJ for numero 50. And no 50 is a blast thank you PJ
Apparently Henry got the list (a screengrab of the top ten bold version up above) from Twitter, but then I posted a link to this thread.

Though Henry seems to treat facebook as a creator profile, so you don't actually have to know him to friend request.
I wanted to look at script consistency on Dredd over time, so I started plotting that for the early years. In the following table, the inner ring is 1977, and we get to see the Wagner/Grant partnership start up:
(https://i.imgur.com/1Lsj31h.png)
Notes:
Using combinations of Barney, the progs and reprints, it's not often clear who actually wrote a particular script - especially with the number of pseudonyms (and collective pseudonyms) floating about. So, this is my best guess, in terms of data.
Each time a year is added, the rings get thinner, so I'm not sure what the optimal number of years to add to a single chart would be. I could split it into pre-partnership, partnership, post-partnership (and then the latter into sub-sections).
I agree with you Funt with all the pseudonyms floating around it does not make it easy. Just a general question TB Grover was the only pseudonym Wagner and Grant used for Dredd?
Possibly also these:
The Beast
F. Martin Candor
Rick Clark
Oooh snazzy graphic device there! I might see if I can steal it for a book at my day job, we're always looking for new ways to pictorialise information.
If you make it 3D, it'll turn into a Terror Tube -especially when you reach the Millar/Morrison years
