The Wraith was first created back in 1998 by writer Frank Dirscherl as his homage to those classic pulp novel characters the Shadow and the Spider. Originally intended to feature in a novel, the character bounced around in Frank's head until 2001 when his original look was fully realised by an artist friend. Then, in 2002, his current look was readied, and The Wraith series saw publication starting in April 2004 with The Wraith #0.
