label: Description (Brief)
content: <i>Judge Parker</i> (1952- ) was created by psychiatrist and writer Nick Dallis. Dallis invited Dan Heilman, who had previously assisted on <i>Buz Sawyer</i> and <i>Mary Worth,</i>to be the artist for <i>Judge Parker.</i> The title character was a widower with two children, who later married a younger woman. Originally written as an attractive crime-fighting character, Parker had by the 1960s become more conservative and sedate while the younger attorney, Sam Driver, became more central to the cast, along with his client and girlfriend, Abby, and her two children.
