3. ^ Davis, Michael. "Milestone: If You're Not There, You Just Won't Get It: Straight No Chaser," ComicMix (August 8, 2008): "I knew (we all knew) that Malcolm was a troubled soul and I’m sad to say that when he committed suicide a few years ago I was not that surprised. Denys and I would often talk about how to deal with Malcolm and reached out to him many times. That does little to erase the feeling that we somehow let our friend down."

One of Malcolms last works included a revisioning; Zorro 95 truly showed Malcolm's talent as, both a penciller and inker in the comic genre.
