Born in Saco, Maine, Good's parents were both Canadian and returned to their home town of Hamilton Ontario when Edmond was 10.
After graduation Good's father, a seasonal fisherman, insisted his son continue his education and paid for his tuition at the Hamilton school of art and design.
One of Good's earliest contributions to the ten cent cover was a male character he helped develop named Rex Baxter; the series was one of the longest running of the Canadian Sign/Bell Features titles.
During this time Good simultaneously moonlighted for various publishers, mainly pulp fiction titles such as Thrilling Detective Stories.
[4][verification needed] Other notable titles Good either co-authored or created under Bell were Dagar Desert Hawk, Sky Ranger, Ghost Breaker and Magnet.
