Character History: Young Charlie Joyce wanted to be a judge ever since his parents were arrested for multiple vehicle theft and grievous assault on a traffic vision on a traffic warden. His dream was realised easier than expected on the Emerald Isle, where the Judge Militia more resembles an old resembles an old fashioned police force than an intensely trained corps of judges. Joyce quickly reached the rank of Judge-Sergeant and in 2110 married his sweetheart Kathleen. He combines an easy-going attitude with a sharp mind and determination to crack any case, as Judge Dredd discovered when they teamed up to fight the Sons of Erin uprising of 2113.

Ireland is split between the megacity of Murphyville and the Emerald Isle, an enormous theme park re-creating a stereotypical view of traditional Irish life
‘wicked’ that –especially all about Joyce–ha… the ironies just keep piling up…mm.
