Ben Raab
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Benjamin "Ben" Raab is a comic book writer and editor. He has written stories for Marvel Comics, DC Comics, WildStorm, Malibu Comics, Harris Publications and Ludovico Technique LLC.
While an assistant editor at Marvel he joined New York University´s Stan-hattan Project. Administered by Raab's then Marvel editorial colleague James Felder, the project sought out and trained potential comic book writers. Other graduates of the program include Joe Kelly and Brian K. Vaughan.
Writing work by Raab includes stints writing The Phantom (both for Moonstone Books and Scandinavian publisher Egmont), Excalibur (vol. 1 and 2), New Mutants: Truth or Death, Union Jack and X-Men/Alpha Flight (vol. 2). He also had a run on Green Lantern for DC Comics, as well as the miniseries, Legend of The Hawkman. For Ludovico Technique he wrote Living in Infamy.
In 2006, Ben was given the chance to re-tell the origin of The Phantom, in a 96-page graphic novel called "Legacy". According to Raab, this was his most ambitious project so far.
