Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson (January 4, 1890 – January 1, 1968) was an American pulp magazine writer and entrepreneur who pioneered the American comic book, publishing the first such periodical consisting solely of original material rather than reprints of newspaper comic strips. His comic book company, National Allied Publications, would evolve into DC Comics, one of the world's two largest comic book publishers, being rivaled by Marvel Comics, though long after its founder had left it.
He was a 2008 Judges' Choice inductee into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.

Famous quotes containing the word malcolm:
“Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible. He is a kind of confidence man, preying on people’s vanity, ignorance, or loneliness, gaining their trust and betraying them without remorse.”
—Janet Malcolm (b. 1934)
