History
Galen DeMarco is the eponymous protagonist of the Judge Dredd Megazine strips DeMarco and DeMarco, P.I. She was the daughter of a billionaire who had her inducted into the Academy of Law in Mega-City One. DeMarco passed out third in her class. Upon her father's death, she inherited his fortune, but chose to remain a Judge rather than pursue a billionaire lifestyle.
She first met Judge Dredd while serving (at her own request) in 'the Pit', one of the most violent and corrupt areas of the city, but Dredd discovered that she had only transferred there because she was having an affair with another Judge, Warren. He dismissed Warren for dereliction of duty, but DeMarco redeemed herself by putting her job before saving her reputation, and was allowed to remain a Judge. She later killed Warren after he kidnapped her in an attempt to seize her fortune.
Galen worked with Dredd on several subsequent occasions, but unfortunately fell in love with him, and was ultimately forced to resign from Justice Department. She has since become a private investigator and is in a somewhat erratic relationship with undercover Judge Jack Point.

Notes
The infamous 'DeMarco Unzipped' cover (see gallery) sparked controversy on the 2000 AD letters page for several weeks — twice! Tharg reprinted it due to popular demand...oh, and then printed it again as a double page pin-up in the 2000 AD Sci-Fi Special 1996.
