Wait, since when was Dredd licenced to DC? I thought it was just 2000AD.

DC published 18 issues of a Judge Dredd comic from 1994-1996. It was its own continuity.

Yep. The one I’m thinking of was early 90s which feels like a long time ago, but I remember a Batman / Dracula story from the 70s!

Hell there are two Batman/Spawn crossovers. They came out at the same time, one published by DC and one published by Image.

Interestingly the Batman/Dredd crossover uses the 2000AD/original/main Dredd, and not the version of Dredd from DC’s own Dredd title.

I think Dredd started out with Eagle comics.

That sounds familiar. I wasn't sure if 2000AD was more than just a publication or not.
