"Ralf", from the Bratpack -- who?

[JephYork]

The MCP lists a character called Ralf, presumably part of the Bratpack that has folks like Alfy, Butch and Darla. He's listed as appearing in Uncanny X-Men Annual #10, and a bunch of Daredevil issues including #238 and #253.

I only have the Uncanny annual and DD #238, but I don't see him in either one. The Official Index to the X-Men v2 #4 lists him as being in both issues, however. So, my questions are -- in what issue is it revealed that he was in those earlier books -- and in what issue does he receive a name?

Thanks!

Nobody?

Could someone please page through DD #253 and tell me if this Ralf shows up?

Sorry I didn't respond to this earlier Jeph...

I'm not seeing Ralf in DD 238 either, but he is in DD 253, and named on page 6.

I'm pretty sure Ralf is in Uncanny Annual 10 on page 22 along with the rest of the Bratpack, but he's not named. I'm pretty sure that happened in DD 253.

Thanks, Colonel!

Hmm. I was hoping that DD #253 would clarify that he was one of those big tough kids in DD #238 ... but if he is one of the little Bratpack kids, same age as Butch, Darla, etc., then I'd say the earlier index is mistaken -- and he's NOT in DD #238 after all.

Any chance I could ask you to poke through the rest of his appearances (DD Annual #5/3, 6/2, 7/4, 8/4, and DD v2 #8) and see if they clarify whether or not he was in DD #238?

There's no mention at all of previous stories in any of them, so it looks like Ralf isn't in DD 238 after all, but Ralf does appear in every one of these five stories.

DD@ 5/3 the kids deal with Darla almost being forced into child prostitution.

DD@ 6/2 the kids learn that stealing is bad, even to impress girls.

DD@ 7/4 the kids learn that guns aren't toys.

DD@ 8/4 the kids learn that kissing girls is fun.

DD v2 #8 the kids attend Karen Page's funeral.

Thanks, Colonel!

No problem!

Thankee muchly!
