any kind of raven,

Every raven after his kind

and every raven after its kind,

And every raven after his kind,

It's not a crow, nor a raven. It's a magpie.

) The tests were originally developed by John C. Raven in 1936.

Moore and Lloyd conceived the series as a dark adventure strip influenced by British comic characters of the 1960s, as well as by Night Raven, which Lloyd had previously worked on with writer Steve Parkhouse.

Raven first published his Progressive Matrices in the United Kingdom in 1938.

God sent down a raven which started to dig up the earth to show the killer how to bury the corpse of his brother . On seeing the raven , ( Cain ) said , Woe to me !

His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy, black as a raven.

His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.

Then Allah sent a raven scratching in the earth to show him in what wise he might cover the corpse of his brother . He said woe unto me was incapable of being like unto this raven so that I might cover the corpse of my brother !

Then God sent a raven , which scratched the earth , so that He might show him how to hide the corpse of his brother . Alas ! he cried , Am I not able even to be like this raven , so that I may hide the corpse of my brother ?

and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.

Who provides for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry to God, and wander for lack of food?

Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

Then God sent a raven which scratched the ground in order to show him how to hide the nakedness of his brother . Alas , the woe , said he , that I could not be even like the raven and hide the nakedness of my brother , and was filled with remorse .

Then Allah sent a raven , who scratched the ground , to show him how to hide the shame of his brother . Woe is me ! said he Was I not even able to be as this raven , and to hide the shame of my brother ? then he became full of regrets

Raven thought that the tests commonly in use at that time were cumbersome to administer and the results difficult to interpret.

And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

Then God sent a raven digging the ground , to show him how to cover his brother 's corpse . He said , Woe to me !

Then Allah sent a raven scratching up the ground , to show him how to hide his brother 's naked corpse . He said Woe unto me !

Last night, he studied all night long.

Then God sent forth a raven , scratching into the earth , to show him how he might conceal the vile body of his brother . He said , ' Woe is me !

Stand ( to prayer ) by night , but not all night ,

Stand ( to prayer ) by night , but not all night ,

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

Thereupon Allah sent forth a raven who began to scratch the earth to show him how he might cover the corpse of his brother . So seeing he cried ' Woe unto me !

And during the night worship Him and hallow Him the livelong night .

But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it. The owl and the raven will dwell in it. He will stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.

Good night, Mom.

Good night, Mom.

Good night, Timmy!

Good night, Tom!

The third night.

The closing night ,

Day after day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge.

Shoulder to shoulder, Night after night, We hoarded and sold her Our Lady in White.
