Raven

Emerging from the fertile Italian comics scene of the early 1990s, Raven made their debut in Nathan Never #30 (1993), a creation of Antonio Serra and Roberto De Angelis for the storied house of Sergio Bonelli Editore. This is a character rooted in the gritty, atmospheric world of Nathan Never — one of Bonelli's most celebrated science-fiction series — sharing those rain-slicked pages with the likes of Nathan Never himself, Legs Weaver, and Aristotele Skotos. With only a handful of catalog appearances across a mid-decade run, Raven is the kind of rare, tantalizing figure that rewards the dedicated collector willing to dig into the rich vein of Italian fumetti that too many English-language fans have yet to discover.
