Emmanuel "Mac" Raboy (April 9, 1914 – December 1967)[1] was an American cartoonist whose comic books and strips remain collectibles more than 40 years after his death. He was known for his work on Fawcett Comics' Captain Marvel Jr. and as the Sunday strip artist of Flash Gordon for over 20 years.

Born in New York City, Raboy began his art career with the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression. In the 1940s he began working for comic books and gained fame as the illustrator for Captain Marvel, Jr. and the Green Lama. In the spring of 1946, King Features hired Raboy to continue the Sunday page adventures of Flash Gordon, which he continued to work on until his death.
