July 1983 and ending in December 1984 (issues 68 to 143). Some episodes were also reprinted in 2000 AD annuals. In 2017 all of the Valiant episodes were collected in a graphic novel by Rebellion's Treasury of British Comics imprint. In 2023 McBane appeared in episodes of Judge Dredd in a time-travel story written by Ken Niemand and illustrated by Ian Richardson and Quinton Winter (starting in the Judge Dredd Megazine #452). Inspiration for Judge Dredd In 1977, Wagner went on to create the strip Judge Dredd for 2000 AD. In a 1995 interview he said: "When Pat [Mills] was putting together 2000 AD, we realised from the success of "One-Eyed Jack" this was the kind of story the paper should have – a really hard, tough cop". In 2017 he wrote: "The lessons I learned from One-Eyed Jack played no little part in the creation of Judge Dredd".
