Armitage (comics)
''Armitage'' is a science fiction series appearing in the British comic anthology the ''Judge Dredd Megazine'', created by Dave Stone and Sean Phillips in 1991. The protagonist is a Detective-Judge in Brit-Cit, a British mega-city in the universe of ''Judge Dredd''. He has also made occasional appearances in the main ''Judge Dredd'' series in '' 2000 AD'', as well as two spin-off novels and an audio drama. In the same way that Dredd was based partly on ''Dirty Harry'', Armitage owes something to the cynical but unbending police detectives seen in dramas such as ''Inspector Morse'' and ''Taggart''. Although an outstanding detective, he is difficult to work with and often clashes with his superiors in Brit-Cit's corrupt, class-ridden Justice Department. Like many such characters, he has a junior partner: usually Detective-Judge Treasure Steel, and in later stories upper-class Detective-Judge Timothy "Timbo" Parkerston-Trant.
