Yes, he actually takes his helmet off a fair bit (including the Dredd film) but we should NEVER see his face. And Urban understands that well.
From what I can remember of my reading the comics back in the 80s & 90s the only time I remember him taking the helmet off was when he took the long walk into the cursed earth wasteland, then he wore a wide brimmed hat and his face while never explicitly fully shown had bits like his jaw shown as burned (I think.....it was a long time ago and my memory isnt what it used to be! )
That was from a strip called The Dead Man, you do see his face quite clearly throughout the story, but only what's left of it after it was burned off in a river of acid .
That series was really clever, I thought, as it ran concurrently with the normal Dredd series and didn't reveal he was Dredd until Dredd took the long walk in the main series. I was shocked when they revealed it.
One thing I never realised was how controversial Action was. It was the forerunner to 2000ad.

Some of what makes the comic so successful would be good. Like the Angel gang, the League Of Fatties, Rise Of The Robots, the Dark Judges, the Cursed Earth, Block Wars,and loads more. All the sort of things which were missing from both movies.

As a kid I read Tornado, Warlord, 2000 AD and The X-MEN. Yeah, hooked.
