Malcolm Judge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Malcolm Judge (1918-January 17, 1989) was a British cartoonist, best known for his contributions to DC Thomson's range of comics.
His early career was spent as a writer and journalist, and in 1948 he began contributing comic strips to the newspapers and magazines at DC Thomson. He contributed his first strip, The Badd Ladds to the Beezer in 1960, and Colonel Crackpot's Circus to The Beano the following year. He would go on to create several more popular strips including Ball Boy, Billy Whizz in The Beano and The Numskulls in the Beezer.
Judge remained an active contributor to DC Thomson until his death at the age of 70 in early 1989. John Dallas took over Ball Boy and The Numskulls, and John Geering replaced Judge on The Badd Ladds, while Billy Whizz ran as re-prints for most of the year, interspersed with some occasional new strips by Barrie Appleby until the appointment of long-term successor David Parkins a year after Judge's death.
