Description
Within the Hall of Justice is a member of the departments administration, Judge Carolyn Bachmann, she allegedly dealt with the trivial details of the paperwork, paperclips, ink, etc, in actual fact she is head of Justice Departments Black Ops.

A more recent character to emerge from Justice Departments shadows and a possibly ongoing torn in Dredds side, Judge Bachmann is part of the recent ongoing story involving what initially looks like a the groundwork of an elaborate grab for control of Mega City one. Though if it is Bachmann truly calling the shots or someone else it is not certain.

Being in charge of Black Ops meant she immediately ruffled Dredd the wrong way, given that she is in charge of operations that are effectively illegal in Dredds eyes but without genuine evidence there is no action he can take against her. She also seems to have driven a wedge between Chief Judge Hersheys and Dredds until recently rock solid relationship of trust.

Ambitious, intelligent, ruthlessly uncaring for breaking Justice Department laws, and possibly insane, she is not to be trifled with.

I decided to draw a picture of the most recent Dredd villain in the comic given that she is a Judge, and she looks different enough from Hershey and Anderson with a severe librarian style. She may well be killed off shortly, or may yet hang around, but i thought why not draw her anyway?

The 'cupboard' refers to how Hersey described Bachmanns place in Justice Department, out of sight and out of mind, in the shadows.

I've made her look a bit nicer than she is, but that's public relations airbrushing for you

UPDATE - Bachmann was killed in her attempted coup on Justice Department, which i think was a pity since i think they could have gotten at least one more good story with her as the villain.
