Matt Raines

Matt Raines stepped onto the page in 1992 with the launch of Epic — a Marvel title from that restless Copper Age moment when creators were pushing boundaries and experimenting with darker, more complex storytelling. Brought to life by Dan Chichester and William Simpson, Raines navigates a world populated by intriguing figures like Colonel Carter Tiernan, Dr. Tachyon, and Peter Lencov Sr., suggesting a story with real political and human weight. With only a handful of catalog appearances, he's a rare find — the kind of character that rewards the dedicated digger who loves unearthing the overlooked corners of Marvel's adventurous early-'90s output.
