Anderson Versus Death (2025) is a prose novel by Anna Smith Spark set in the Judge Dredd universe, published as part of the Judge Anderson: The Early Years line. Judge Cassandra Anderson is one of the most popular characters from 2000 AD comics, a psychic Judge in the dystopian Mega-City One who has appeared in stories alongside Judge Dredd since 1980.

Anna Smith Spark is known for her grimdark fantasy series The Empires of Dust, which begins with The Court of Broken Knives. Her dark, intense writing style makes her an interesting choice for a Judge Anderson novel, which calls for a tone that matches the violent, morally complex world of the Judges. The “Early Years” framing means the novel explores Anderson before she became the experienced, confident character readers know from the comics.

This book will appeal to fans of the 2000 AD universe looking for prose fiction set in that world, as well as readers of Anna Smith Spark who want to see her voice applied to a different kind of setting. It is a standalone novel and does not require knowledge of previous Judge Anderson comics to follow, though familiarity with Mega-City One adds context.
