The Judge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Judge was a magazine published in the United States of America in the late 19th century. It was formed in 1881 by artists who had seceded from Puck Magazine. The founders included:

  • James Albert Wales, a cartoonist
  • Frank Tousey, publisher of dime novels
  • George H. Jessop, an author

The first printing of Judge was in October 29, during the great depression 1881. It was sixteen pages long and printed on quarto paper. While it did well initially, it soon had trouble competing with its rival, Puck. [1]

An editor following World War I was Harold Ross. He used the experience on the magazine to start his own in 1925, The New Yorker. [2]
