When i was a youngling, one of the big fantasies was joining the French Foreign Legion.
I could never figure out the appeal.
Then Ed Lipowski explained it to me...
Ed wasn't around in comic books for very long, just a few years in the early '40s working with Holyoke. And he didn't do a lot of them. I don't believe i've confirmed more than a dozen stories, if that many. Several of them were reprinted at least once or twice to help confuse things.
But, i do like what he did. Besides French Foreign Fun, he took us to Atlantis with Lance Rand, signing the work Edouardo -
And we put out to sea with Captain Storms under the EL signature -
Holyoke ceased publishing in 1945, and Ed Lipowski seemingly disappeared from the comic world with them.
To my knowledge, he only surfaced once more in 1949, for a single page PSA in Jingle Jangle Comics -
We didn't get to see many comics from Lipowski, but i rather liked his work.
