Ralph Caccone

Ralph Caccone is a minor human character who crossed paths with the Frankenstein Monster in the mid-1970s horror comics, operating in a world populated by monsters, the von Frankenstein lineage, and supernatural forces including the voodoo deity Damballah.

Ralph Caccone stepped into the Marvel Universe in 1975, a Bronze Age creation of Doug Moench and Val Mayerik, debuting in the pages of Frankenstein #16 amid genuinely wild company — the Frankenstein Monster, members of the von Frankenstein line, and the voodoo deity Damballah. With appearances stretching across an impressive four-plus decades into 2017, this minor Marvel figure turns up in some gloriously eclectic corners of the universe, from monster-horror to the mystic realms of Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme. Five catalog appearances may not make him a household name, but for collectors who love tracing the connective tissue of Marvel's Bronze Age horror and sorcery titles, Ralph Caccone is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through back issues such a joy.
