Raven

A creature of the Silver Age British comics scene, Raven made their debut in Valiant #23 in May 1970, published by IPC during that lively era when UK weeklies were brimming with bold, distinctive characters. Raven's run was brief but spirited, appearing across the pages of Valiant and Valiant and Smash! alongside a memorable cast including Tim Kelly, Mr. Quelch, Doc Diamond, Ches Nutt, and Sir Mortimer Child-Beale — fine company in any British comic. With only six catalog appearances, Raven is a genuine rarity, the kind of hidden gem that makes flipping through old IPC issues such a rewarding adventure for collectors with a taste for the overlooked corners of comics history.
