Who is Raven?

The half-human, half-demon daughter of the dread lord Trigon, Raven was raised in the peaceful other-dimensional realm of Azarath, where she was taught to suppress her dark heritage. When Trigon's threat could no longer be contained, she journeyed to Earth seeking allies powerful enough to oppose him.

Few characters have made an entrance quite like Raven — stepping onto the Bronze Age stage in 1980's DC Comics Presents #26, conjured by the legendary partnership of Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, and immediately signaling that something electric was happening at DC. Over 45 years and 157 catalogued appearances, she has woven herself through the fabric of The New Teen Titans and Tales of the Teen Titans, sharing those storied pages with the likes of Victor Stone, Starfire, Koriand'r, Cyborg, and Garfield Logan — a constellation of characters that defined one of comics' most beloved eras. With ten key-issue appearances to her name, collectors have long recognized that her story beats carry real weight. Mysterious, enduring, and unmistakably her own, Raven is exactly the kind of character who rewards every reader who decides to dig deeper.
