Who is Raphael?

Raphael is one of four mutant ninja turtles trained by the rat sensei Splinter, known for his fierce, hot-headed personality and trademark red mask. He fights alongside brothers Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Donatello to protect New York City.

Raphael burst onto the Modern Age scene in 2013 through IDW Publishing's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles New Animated Adventures Free Comic Book Day special, brought to life by creator Erik Burnham and artist Dario Brizuela. He's kept remarkable company across his catalog appearances, sharing adventures with Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, Splinter, and April O'Neil — the beloved core of the TMNT universe. His appearances span celebrated titles including the crossover spectacle Batman / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures and the landmark Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 40th Anniversary Comics Celebration, proving he's part of some genuinely special comics real estate. For fans of the animated-style corner of the IDW Turtle-verse, this is a Raphael worth tracking down.
