Krupa (b. 1913) was an American illustrator from a Polish family.  He trained at the Bauhaus in Germany, but left for America with his family.  There he produced a science-fiction &#8220;serial illustration&#8221; titled <em>Adventures of Richard Arnold<\/em> \/ <em>Przygody Ryszarda Arnolda<\/em> which appeared in a Polish newspaper.  He worked with the Ziff Davis Publishing Company from 1938, and had a good deal of artwork in <em>Amazing Stories<\/em> circa 1939.  He also contributed to <em>Ad Astra<\/em> and probably other fanzines. He served in the Marines during the Second World War. In 1946 he was noted in the press as having the &#8220;JSK Recording Studio&#8221; in his basement at home. His grandson has <a href=\"http:\/\/sticklersworld.blogspot.com\/2006\/03\/julian-krupa-man-legend.html\">left a short memoir of him<\/a> which reveals he was also a talented violinist, performed at a World Fair, and did a radio show from his basement. After the war he worked for a company that made illustrations for training films used by the Navy and NASA.  He later moved into doing marketing work for Radio Shack&#8217;s audio equipment, before retiring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cover for Mark Reinsberg&#8217;s Ad Astra fanzine, January 1940, by Julian S.
