So far, Gaiman has reported no such information being shared. Dredd learns that historian Nigella Gaiman has been allowed to interview Death, the Justice Department hoping the monster might become comfortable enough to reveal to her how he is able to sometimes hide from Psi-Judge scans and precognitive visions. Judge Death remarks that he and Dredd are two very similar people with similar goals, and adds that Death's Release will soon help him escape Iso-Block 99. Like the other Dark Judges, Death's spirit was held within a 'glasseen crystal' but a flaw was discovered in its structure, so his spirit form is temporarily being held in a more conventional, sealed iso-cube cell while another crystal is prepared. Judge Dredd visits on the Necropolis Day anniversary, as he has done every year since Death's imprisonment after the Necropolis affair. He is guarded by robo-judges (who cannot be possessed or influenced by him) and contained in isolation in Iso-Block 99, having been separated from the other Dark Judges three years before on Dredd's recommendation. Since his undead body was destroyed, Judge Death still exists only as a gaseous spirit. They claim the official history of Necropolis is a lie that must be removed from history books, saying the true villains behind any deaths were the Judges who rule and patrol the city. Now, a radical group known as Death's Release claims the powerful 'alien superfiend' Judge Death and his Dark Judges were not responsible for the Necropolis and are unlawfully imprisoned. With their power and the aid of their Sisters of Death, the Dark Judges had turned the city into their personal Necropolis, killing over 60 million people before Judge Dredd, Judge Anderson and others were able to defeat them. It is Necropolis Day, the 12th anniversary of when Mega-City One was finally freed from temporary rule by the Dark Judges, undead monsters from a parallel Earth they call Deadworld. It stars Toby Longworth as Judge Dredd, Claire Buckfield as his ally and former mentee Judge Amy Steel (introduced in the March 2002 audio drama Judge Dredd: Wanted: Dredd or Alive), and Mark Gatiss as the undead Judge Death. Judge Dredd: Death Trap is a Big Finish Productions audio drama released in April 2002 and based on the character Judge Dredd in British comic 2000 AD.
