	Ben Raab: Ghost Writer
		Ben Raab began his career in comics in 1993 as a special projects intern at Marvel where he assisted in the production of various licensed merchandise.
		RAAB: The two biggest things I had to adjust were my script formats and the tone of the stories based on the target age group.
		RAAB: Well, since my last issue is about to come out next week, I feel I can finally be brutally honest and go on record as saying I think the whole debate is ridiculous.

	The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: Gen13 #59 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Raab wraps up and resolves the Ninja Science Squad arc this issue, and while it's had it's problems it's still been a vast improvement over the morass of failed humour and irritating asides that Lobdell had been developing prior to his departure.
		The first two parts of Raab's arc tookus through the Godzilla and Pokemon genres, and this issue he moves on to the anime/Matrix-style action genre with a chase story that, for the most part, successfully conveys some sense of the action and speed required by the genre.
		Raab's tour of Japanese sci-fi conventions has been an entertaining diversion, but some elements (particularly having Gen13 shouting their powers in proper Manga fashion) are starting to wear a bit thin by the third outing.

		Besides, Ben Raab has a tougher job than Dennis O'Neil did - O'Neil's Lantern and Arrow liked each other, a lot, about as much as Kyle Raynor and Oliver Queen dislike each other.
		Raab handles the challenges quite well, though, establishing the Green Team's grudging partnership early on and making it clear that, like it or not, these boys are going to have to play well with others.
		That pairing was perfect for its time, when heroes were still chums (and generally used that very word for each other) and enjoyed each other's company.

		But for the FF changes were also apparent, with Ben - who found he could change to and from the Thing at will on the Beyonder's world - staying behind, leaving She-Hulk to take his place on the team.
		Raab took over the scripting from the sixth issue, and worked out his plots with Terry Kavanagh.
		Yes, they’re a little glib, dialogue-wise, and the characterisation is formulaic (Ben particularly) but placing the Fantastic Four into a technological future sees them under genuine threat, where groups like Total Recall and The New York Dolls (not as silly as they sound!) have a genuine chance at picking them off.

	Titans Tower Info: Johns 10 Questions
		I'm very happy with the way that mini-series turned out and if Ben Raab and I had a chance to write a sequel I'm sure we would.
		Ben Raab had mentioned you were the one to suggest using Flamebird in BEAST BOY; She is often thought of as a 'joke' character.
		Ben and I had pitch in for a Titans L.A. maxi-series that never got off the ground.

	Adventures Into Digital Comics \| Ben Raab (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Ben Raab was the fourth artist to shoot an interview for Adventures Into Digital Comics.
		The background behind Ben remained visible, but because of the way the lens acts with the digital tapes, the background became entirely dark on the film.
		Ben is not into webcomics, but on the other hand, he was a part of the business plan to bring Marvel characters on the Internet.

	Jazma Online: Interview with Ben Perez & Matt Rothblatt
		Ben Perez: I served over 9 years in the US Army and now I attend the University of Texas at El Paso.
		BP: The protagonists are; Ben Landry (SPIRALMIND), Rabbi Sol Rothblatt, and Father Tom O'Brien the antagonists are; Governor Dante Evans, a secret society called the Illuminati and an occultist realm of demonic creatures who manipulate genetically altered beings.
		As this character evolves and as we as readers (myself included) learn more about Ben Landry, I recognize that at times life is bitter and hard, but we can't forget that life is still good and that despite all of humanity's faults, we're inherently good souls.

	The X-Axis Reviews - 28 January 2001
		Ben Raab's EXCALIBUR miniseries - which of course is actually a Captain Britain story - continues by getting its characters into Avalon and promptly packing the good Captain off on his own mission, leaving the supporting cast to get on with fighting some minor characters.
		In fairness, Raab could still work some kind of rational explanation into this, but there's no sign of it here, and it's not a storyline I really want to see.
		Raab resorts to some exceptionally strained logic to pack Brian off on this mission alone - apparently, because he doesn't have any powers, he's the weakest and most expendable of the team, so therefore he should be the one who goes on the exceptionally important mission.

		BEN RAAB: The high-octane, high-adventure sequel to the "pilot" one-shot which debuted as part of Image Comics' "Image Introduces" series last year.
		RAAB: As a fan of series about tough chicks who kick ass, I guess you could say "Buffy" was a subconscious influence, but not one that I specifically set out to emulate.
		RAAB: We've talked to a couple of potential publishers, but until the project is finished and ready to print, we don't want to make any commitments we can't keep.

	Excalibur (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ellis left in 1996 and Ben Raab, his replacement, failed to find a voice for the series, often borrowing plotlines from other X-Books.
		In 2001, a four-issue miniseries titled Excalibur, featuring Captain Britain, Meggan, Psylocke and the Black Knight and written by Raab, detailed Captain Britain's rise to become king of the extra-dimensional realm of Otherworld.
		Originally solicited as Excalibur: Sword of Power, the subtitle was absent from the published issues, and, due to an error, the indicia described it as Excalibur volume 1.

	The Phantom #7 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		Ben Raab's continuity naturally stands out from the previous issues' continuity, and yet there's no real doubt that both featured the bona-fide character.
		Raab quickly involves the Phantom through Diana's ties to the United Nations, and this leads to Pat Quinn, and his fellow artists Ken Wheaton and Joe Bucco, putting the Phantom into action, action and action while not contradicting the continuity of Lee Falk.
		My one caveat, and I'm sure Raab saw this coming, is that the story hinges on a very old character, and there seems to be a discrepancy in Pat Quinn's artwork depicting a thirties styled flashback and Raab's contemporary story.

	Elflore - GL 171: Waiting for the Lantern at the End of the Tunnel... [SPOILERS] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		I have to say...Ben Raab had some potential when he started out, but I think it's mostly slipping away.
		What's especially disappointing is that, in early interviews, Raab claimed he was going to be keeping the couple together, that Jen would be Kyle's rock, the person he went back to when he needed to try and sort his head out about the problems in space.
		I would have been much more interested to see Raab writing the pair like that, with the good and bad sides, rather than this "Kyle neglects his lady and she falls out of love" simplistic nothing.

	Legend of the Hawkman
		Writer Ben Raab employs the cinematic style common today, throughout the series, where there's no thought balloons or text captions.
		And yet, a second time through, I appreciated it more, realizing some of the ideas Raab was going for, even if he doesn't exactly succeed.
		And the religious debate is kind of awkward in a story where Gods appear and have conversations, kind of negating the notion of "faith"...though, conversely, Raab doesn't turn this into a (metaphorical) religious parable.

	University of Michigan - Michigan Today
		Raab '92 says following in Meltzer's footsteps was "a wee bit stressful." When he left after three issues (after which he started writing for yet another emerald hero, Green Lantern), he passed the Green Arrow quiver to yet another Wolverine, his classmate Judd Winick.
		Raab, 33, who lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Tracey, is currently writing DC's The Human Race, Moonstone Books and The Phantom in addition to Green Lantern.
		He is the co-writer of a series of prose chapters comprising a larger novella in Vampirella Magazine and the author of two graphic novels, Cryptopia, which has been optioned for a TV series, and The Lost Tribe, a supernatural horror-noir based on Eastern European Jewish folklore.

		Raab if you wanted to write Hal Jordan you should have demanded to write him not make Kyle into a piss poor version of him.
		Raab is totally different from Judd, who I think has been the best writer on this book since ET (Gerry Jones in his heyday was slightly better imo).
		Yeah, I agree with CF that Kyle is now Hal-lite and isn't exactly the Kyle that Marz and Judd wrote, so the characterization could be better.

		The first issue by Ben Raab and Rick Burchett seems to be very much in that style, with an intriguing tease about the return of the Green Lantern Corps but a failure of execution, as the characters and situations all seem so very bland and lifeless.
		Part of the problem is that Raab plays up the familiar aspects of Kyle's job rather than the alien aspects.
		His rescue of a starship may as well be him guiding an airliner to safety, his help with the farmers is a generic monster story and preventing the assassination of a world leader is also kind of standard super-hero stuff.

	The X-Axis Reviews - 9 January 2000
		Flawed, but still another one to chalk up in the hit column for Ben Raab.
		Last issue of WOLVERINE ended with a downright baffling speech by Archangel which was apparently meant to be a cliffhanger but was in fact completely incomprehensible to everyone I've spoken to.
		Ben Raab could hardly do his X-MEN: HELLFIRE CLUB historical series without taking the chance to do something with his beloved Union Jack.

	Printer Friendly: The Phantom #3 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		While Ben Raab's story is nothing to ignore, the thing you will notice the most about The Phantom is Nick Derington's artwork.
		Ben Raab emphasizes the Phantom's true nature through an unusual enemy, and though The Chronicles of the Phantom hint at what his enemy may be in three intriguing flashbacks, they do not give him the entirety of the answer.
		Raab's characterization for the Phantom as usual impresses.
