Ragman #1 - non-attributed Joe Kubert art, Kubert cover + 1st appearance

Joe Kubert

Ragman v1 #1, 1976 - Ragman makes his first appearance in this first issue, along with his prerequisite origin story. Joe Kubert's cover design borrows from an inside page, but its monochromatic washes dampen its impact. Although the interior art is credited to the Redondo Studio, it's clear Kubert provided some rough layouts. Pages 2-8 and 17 are most clearly consistent with his style (see interior page below). On pages 7-8, a rooftop battle is enhanced by strong vertical panels that suggest scale and height. Co-created by Kubert and Robert Kanigher, Ragman also stands out for his unusually distinctive costume design.
