A few years before Carol Day, David Wright created the adventure comic strip Judy for the George Newnes weekly magazine Tit-Bits. As a strip, Judy is far below the level Wright would achieve with Carol Day. The plots are ridiculous and the characters cardboard, but it does have appeal and was a good vehicle for Wright's beautiful cheesecake art.

As far as we are aware, this is the first presentation of Judy since its original publication. We don't have the exact dates of Judy's publication. It seems to have been 1952-53 or 1953. Usually Judy was published as a half tab, but the first strip was a full tab, and the size varies some in the later strips to third tab and two-thirds tab.

As with Carol Day later on, David Wright clipped the strip each week and pasted it into a scrapbook, in Judy's case a 1953 Coronation scrapbook. The scrapbook contains strips 1-38. We don't know if this is the complete run of the strip, but it seems very likely since strip 38 ends a story, with several blank pages left in the book. Given David Wright's diligence in clipping and preserving his work, it seems a reasonable conclusion that had the strip continued, he would have continued collecting them in the scrapbook.
