Cloths Make The Crimefighter: Ragman #1

A supernatural superhero made from rags!?  Seems implausible and almost laughable.  Trust me it’s neither of those things.

The city-a father and his son run a second hand store or as it is affectionately known as a ‘Rag’ store.

When organized crime tries to muscle in on the shop to launder its money and sell drugs the old man refuses.

The mob kills the old man and injures his son.

As the son lies in an alley near death from his injuries he decides to avenge his father’s death.

Somehow he survives and sets in motion his quest for vengeance.  As ex-military he knows search and destroy tactics.   Masked and prepared to begin his quest he suddenly finds himself engulfed by the spirit of The Ragman.

Clothed in strips of rags, he seeks out those that feed upon the misery of others and metes out vengeance.

Ragman #1, written by Robert Loren Fleming and drawn by Pat Broderick from DC Comics, features a cover by the legendary Joe Kubert.

Proverbs 27:17 (NIV) “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
