'''Malcolm Judge''' (1918 – 17 January 1989) was a British cartoonist, best known for his contributions to [[DC Thomson]]'s range of comics. He was married, had one daughter, and lived in [[Bishopbriggs]] near [[Glasgow]].

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 Lads]] to ''[[The Beezer]]'' in 1960, and [[Colonel Crackpot's Circus]] to ''[[The Beano]]'' the same year. He created several more popular strips including [[The Numskulls]] in ''The Beezer'' in 1962, [[Billy Whizz]] in ''The Beano'' in 1964 and [[Ball Boy (Beano)|Ball Boy]] in the same comic in 1975. He also drew [[Square Eyes]] for ''[[The Topper (comics)|The Topper]]'', and [[Ali's Baba]] and [[Baron Von Reichs-Pudding]] in ''[[Sparky (comic)|Sparky]]'' before and after its merge with ''The Topper''.

Judge remained an active contributor to DC Thomson until his death at the age of 70 in early 1989. [[John Dallas (comics)|John Dallas]] took over Ball Boy, and [[John Geering]] replaced Judge on The Badd Ladds, while the workload on Billy Whizz was shared by [[Barrie Appleby]] and [[Steve Horrocks]] until the appointment of long-term successor [[David Parkins]]. The Numskulls had already been taken over by [[Tom Lavery]] in 1979.
