Early life and career

Winick and his older brother, Orin, were raised in a middle-class family by liberal parents: his father was an insurance broker and his mother was a homemaker. Winick was unhappy as a young child, mostly because he found school boring and difficult. He found solace in drawing, a pastime he enjoyed for as long as he could remember, because it set him apart and made him noticed. He was a good student, and continued his artistic interests throughout his school years, drawing, painting, and acting in school plays. Winick began cartooning professionally at 16 when his single-panel strip, Nuts & Bolts, was picked up by Anton Publications, a newspaper publisher that produced town papers in the Tri-state area. The strip ran weekly, and Winick was paid $10 a week.

Winick’s social views began to develop in high school when a social studies teacher that Winick admired, Lou Marrett, announced, by writing on the blackboard, the message, “I AM GAY.” The students were confused, as Marrett was married, but Marrett explained that his wife was merely a beard, or a disguise for his homosexuality. Marrett had simply wanted to provoke his students into a discussion of his statement's implications, and revealed at the end of the class that he wasn’t really gay. Winick states that this experiment encouraged him to develop more liberal beliefs on the issue, something that served him well later in life. For other uses, see High school (disambiguation). ...

Winick graduated from high school in 1988 and entered the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor’s School of Art, intending to emulate his cartoonist heroes Garry Trudeau and Berke Breathed. His comic strip, Nuts and Bolts, began running in the school’s newspaper, the Michigan Daily, in his freshman year, and he was selected to speak at graduation. UM also published a small print-run of a collection of his strips called Watching the Spin-Cycle: The Nuts & Bolts Collection. In his senior year, Universal Press Syndicate, which syndicates strips such as Doonesbury and Calvin & Hobbes, offered Winick a development contract.

In early 1993, Winick lived in an apartment in Beacon Hill, Boston, Massachusetts, with fellow writer Brad Meltzer, struggling to develop Nuts and Bolts for UPS, while working at a bookstore. However, in early June of that year, UPS decided not to renew Winick’s strip for syndication, feeling it could not compete in the current market. Winick was unable to secure syndication with another company, and was forced to move back in with his parents, doing T-shirt work for beer companies. Judd also had Nuts & Bolts in development with the children’s television network Nickelodeon as an animated series, even turning the human characters into mice, and proposing new titles like Young Urban Mice and Rat Race, but nothing came of it.

Experiences with The Real World

In August, Winick applied to be on MTV network’s reality tv show, The Real World, which would take place in San Francisco, hoping for fame and a career boost. After passing through the first three levels of the casting process, the producers of the show conducted an in-person, videotaped interview with Winick in November 1993. During the interview, they asked him a number of personal questions, including how he would feel about living with someone who was HIV positive. Winick gave what he thought was an enthusiastic, politically correct answer, but inwardly had his reservations, despite his liberal leanings. Winick was contacted in January 1994 with the news that he was accepted as a cast member on the show. While he assumed the earlier question about an HIV roommate was merely hypothetical, the producers revealed to him that one of his roommates would indeed be HIV-positive, though they did not reveal to him or any of the other castmates which one.

Winick and his six castmates moved into the loft at 953 Lombard Street[1] on Russian Hill on February 12, 1994. At first, Winick thought that castmate David “Puck” Rainey was the one with HIV, since he had scabs on his body that Winick thought may have been Kaposi's sarcoma lesions, which are often associated with AIDS sufferers, but these were simply the results of numerous accidents that Puck, an avid bicycler, suffered. Winick grew close to third-year medical student Pam Ling, and to Pedro Zamora, who became his roommate and good friend. When Winick and Zamora moved into their room, Winick learned that Zamora was an AIDS educator, and was, in fact, the HIV-positive roommate. Winick liked Zamora, and his earlier reservations about living with someone HIV-positive evaporated, especially after Zamora educated Winick on ways in which the virus could and could not be transmitted.

As the weeks went on, Winick, Ling and Zamora became inseparable, with Winick and Ling often attending Zamora's lectures at schools in the Bay Area. Castmate Cory Murphy joined the trio about halfway through their stay in the loft, often joining them on outings. Winick found himself falling in love with Ling, but Ling was dating someone else, and so nothing came of it during the MTV series.

Winick’s Nuts and Bolts began running in the San Francisco Examiner in March of that year. His roommates were so proud that Zamora gave the cash-strapped Winick ten dollars to buy a stack of the first issue in which the strip appeared. The San Francisco Examiner is a daily newspaper in San Francisco, California, where it has been published continuously since the late 19th Century. ...


Winick did not get along with castmate Puck Rainey, who eventually alienated each of his housemates. At one point Rainey received a T-shirt that featured four guns arranged in a swastika on the back. According to Winick, Puck denied that it was a swastika, claiming it was an Indian symbol (in fact, the swastika did originate among Hindus, Jainists and Native Americans before it was adopted by the Nazis), and that it was "just guns". Nonetheless, Winick, a Jew, found his reasoning to be a "whole line of bull", and asked him not to wear it. When Puck admonished him not to tell him what to do, Winick clarified that he was merely asking Puck this as a favor, and when Puck refused, Winick saw his refusal as an example of Puck merely being antagonistic for its own sake, and considered it betrayal of trust.[1] This article is about the symbol. ...

In addition to Rainey’s poor hygiene, his insistence on controlling conversations, and his refusal to compromise on household issues, he was particularly abusive towards Zamora, mocking his Cuban accent, and denigrating his career as an educator. Winick has described Rainey as “obnoxious” and “homophobic”, and Zamora, realizing that the stress of his confrontations with Rainey was contributing to his deteriorating health, threatened to move out. Winick, Ling, Murphy, and their other two castmates, Rachel Campos and Mohammed Bilal, voted Rainey out of the loft. Zamora’s health continued to deteriorate, however, as he suffered night sweats, Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia, and weight loss, and slept more and more. He soon recovered, but Winick and Ling grew more worried about him as a result, often covering up for him during their weekly “confessional” interviews with the producers. Image:RWRachel. ...

The cast moved out on June 19, 1994, the first episodes of The Real World San Francisco began airing a week later, and Winick moved to Los Angeles. When Winick, Zamora, Murphy and Ling met again that August for a reunion party, Zamora looked haggard, and suffered headaches and Winick suspected he was very ill. Zamora was eventually diagnosed with toxoplasmosis, which causes brain lesions, resulting in fatigue, headaches and confusion. Winick flew to New York, where Zamora, scheduled for a national AIDS education lecture, asked Winick to substitute for him. While medication alleviated the toxoplasmosis, further tests revealed he had Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare and usually fatal viral inflammation of the brain that breaks down the electrical impulses of the nervous system.

Pam Ling went to see Zamora after getting the news, and, despite the stress of the situation, she and Winick began to realize their feelings for each other. Their feelings deepened in the coming months as they spent time with the bedridden Zamora. After recovering from a biopsy, Zamora was flown to Miami to be with his family, with Winick joining him, and continuing to lecture for him, as the PML slowly took away Zamora’s ability to speak. A few weeks later, Winick was speaking at the University of Michigan when Ling called him to tell him that Zamora did not have much time left. Winick went to Miami to be with Zamora. Surrounded by Winick, Ling, Sasser, and his family, Zamora died around 4:40am EST on November 11, 1994, the day after the final episode of The Real World San Francisco aired. Winick would continue his career as an AIDS lecturer, speaking at over 70 schools across the country throughout 1995, before finding it too emotionally draining to continue.

In May 1995, Winick, finding the weekly Nuts and Bolts unfulfilling, decided to attempt syndication again. After he revamped the strip by having his favorite character, Frumpy the Clown, move in with a family, Creator’s Syndicate began running Frumpy the Clown in 30 national newspapers on July 1, 1996. Some of the newspapers eventually began to cancel the strip, feeling that the character was “not a good role model” and “inappropriate for family newspapers”, but Winick had by then found a daily strip to be creatively and technically unfulfilling anyway, and ended the strip in June 1998. Winick also left strips because he had begun work on an autobiographical graphic novel, Pedro and Me: Friendship, Loss and What I Learned, about his friendship with Zamora.

While working on Pedro and Me, Winick also began working on comic books, beginning with a one-page Frumpy the Clown cartoon in Oni Pressanthology series, Oni Double Feature #4, in 1998, before going on to do longer stories, like the two-part Road Trip, which was published in issues #9 and 10 of the same book.

Winick followed up with a three-issue miniseries, The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius, about a cynical, profane grade school whiz kid, who invents a myriad of futuristic devices that no one other than his best friend knows about. Barry Ween was published by Image Comics from March through May of 1999, with two subsequent miniseries "published by Oni Press, which also published trade paperback collections of all three miniseries.

Winick’s work in mainstream superhero comics has received much attention for storylines in which he explores gay or AIDS-oriented themes. In his first regular writing assignment on a monthly superhero book, DC Comics' Green Lantern, Winick wrote a storyline in which Terry Berg, an assistant of the title character, emerged as a gay character in Green Lantern #137 (June 2001) and in Green Lantern #154 (November 2001) the story entitled "Hate Crime" gained media recognition when Terry was brutally beaten in a homophobic attack. Winick was interviewed on Phil Donahue's show on MSNBC for that storyline on August 15, 2002,[3] and received two more GLAAD awards for his Green Lantern work.

In 2003, Judd Winick left Green Lantern for another DC book, Green Arrow, beginning with issue #26 of that title (July 2003). He gained more media recognition for Green Arrow #43 (December 2004) in which he revealed that Green Arrow's 17-year-old ward, a former runaway-turned prostitute named Mia Dearden, was HIV-positive. In issue #45 (February 2005), Winick had Dearden take on the identity of Speedy, the second such Green Arrow sidekick to bear that name, making her perhaps the most visible and most positive mainstream HIV-positive superhero to star in an ongoing comic book, a decision for which Winick was interviewed on CNN.[4] Prostitution is the sale of sexual services (typically manual stimulation, oral sex, sexual intercourse, or anal sex) for cash or other kind of return, generally indiscriminately with many persons. ...

Winick was also responsible for bringing Jason Todd, the second character known as Batman’s sidekick Robin, back from the dead, and making him the new Red Hood, the second such Batman villain by that name. Winick also wrote a five-issue miniseries for DC’s Vertigo imprint called Blood & Water, about a young man with terminal illness whose two friends reveal to him that they are vampires, and that they wish to save his life by turning him into a vampire himself. Between September 2005 and March 2006, Winick wrote the four-issue Captain Marvel/Superman limited series, Superman/Shazam: First Thunder with art by Josh Middleton. Currently, Winnick is continuing his work with the Marvel Family in a 12-issue limited series called The Trials Of Shazam which is illustrated by Howard Porter.
