Not much is known about this elusive individual. It is fairly certain that he was born in the early years of the so-called Cold War on a US Navy base in the Eastern United States. It is rumored that he was trained from birth by Naval Intelligence. The Hannigan family moved often, and there are indications that the whole family were in the employ of the CIA. He was an engineering student in the late sixties, but then "dropped out" as so many of his contemporaries did in the "Hippie Era".

He surfaced at Marvel Comics where he worked for several years as an artist, editor, production manager and writer. It must be noted that he never recieved any formal training in any of these disciplines, yet he succeeded in all of them.

Later, this subject started working for Marvel's deadly rivals, DC Comics, demonstrating his duplicitous nature. Again he supposedly worked as an artist, writer and editor.

In fact KGB analysts suggest that several people may have actually been doing work attributed to "Ed Hannigan" as a cover while he carried on his covert activities against the Soviet Union. It is known that at this time he was married to a woman who visited the USSR in the Seventies, most likely as a spy.

His movements became more difficult to follow in 1989 when he vanished from the shadowy New York comics art scene, although work attributed to "Ed Hannigan" continued to be published.

After a high selling Batman series, Hannigan produced the notorious Skull & Bones graphical novel. As it was published the black events which lead to the fall of our glorious union took place. This can hardly be called coincidence.

Do not approach this subject under any circumstances as he may be dangerous. He now resides in the State of New Hampshire ( State motto: Live Free or Die!) which is a known enclave of reactionaries and people hostile to the ideals of Socialism.
