The Raven

Few characters can claim roots stretching all the way back to the dawn of the Golden Age, but The Raven debuted in Sure-Fire Comics #1 in 1940 — brought to life by Robert Turner, Pat Lamar Studio, and Harry Lucey at a moment when the entire medium was still finding its wings. That's a remarkable pedigree, and it's genuinely thrilling to see this figure resurface across eight decades, eventually landing at Dynamite Entertainment where they share the page with the likes of Captain Future, The Sword, and Vana. The Raven's appearances in titles like Red Sonja: The Superpowers and Vampirella versus Red Sonja place them in some of Dynamite's most exciting crossover territory, keeping one foot in comics history while rubbing shoulders with modern fan favorites. For collectors who love a character with genuine Golden Age DNA and a surprisingly long shadow, The Raven is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through the longboxes so rewarding.
