Rafael

Rafael stepped onto the Image Comics stage in 1995, born from the creative minds of Neil Gaiman and Greg Capullo in the pages of Angela #3 — a pedigree that immediately signals this character inhabits some of the most celebrated corners of the Spawn universe. Sharing the page with heavyweights like Al Simmons, Spawn, the Redeemer, and Terry Fitzgerald places Rafael squarely in one of the most electric, boundary-pushing eras of independent comics. With appearances spread across Spawn, Angela, and Shattered Image, this is a figure woven into the fabric of Image's mid-'90s creative explosion, even if their footprint in the catalog remains compact. For collectors hunting the full depth of that landmark era, Rafael is one of those intriguing supporting presences that rewards the devoted digger.
