Many thanks Sheridan. Much higher than I thought - I was expecting under 100k copies. I'm guessing the subsequent issues then dropped off a little.  Where did you get the 220k number from?  Cheers.

Does anyone know the approx original print run for progs 1 to 3?

I agree. It's a scarcely believable price, although the Covrprice website (I'm a free member) has always, to my knowledge, accurately reported sold prices.

It's been recorded in another website I use (Go Collect) as having being sold on the 20th June as a CGC 6.5 and it seems to have been listed/sold via Heritage Auctions, although I an find no mention/record of the sale on the Heritage site.  The picture I've seen of the CGC 6.5 doesn't state the stickers being enclosed and the comic looks to have a small hole by the 8p.

If someone has paid that amount, then...just wow.

Hi all

Long, long, long time lurker here.  Just read this and was amazed at the price this achieved. Not sure how to post link, but I have copied & pasted the below from Covrprice Website, Weekly Comic Report for 24th June 2022.

This British weekly anthology features the first appearance of Judge Dredd. Created by John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra, the character was made famous by the Sylvester Stallone live-action 1992 film and Carl Urban in 2012. Despite no current content, Dredd is an independent favorite with an increasing fan base. With that said, his first appearance hit an all-time new high sale of $11,400 for a CGC 6.5. Its high price is directly connected to how challenging it is to find, especially in the US. Due to its low paper quality, it's even tougher to find in high grade.)



Back to lurking, for now 😃
