Found on ancientphantom's tumblr. Both pictures are zine covers, both are from the 1990s and both are quite unusual portrayals of Raoul.

This is the cover for the issue 1 of POTO: The Phantom of the Opera Magazine, by the artist Sharon Young. Probably the first time I've seen a Raoul with a beard. He also looks a great deal older than Raouls usually are, and so does this Christine. Not sure if those are portraits of actors from the musical or not.

The back cover art by Sybille Schenk for the issue 7 of The Chandelier, the zine that was published mostly in German. Again, I don't know if those are meant to be actors from the musical but it's quite possible. It may be an early example of a long-haired Raoul, a trope that I thought had appeared only after the 2004 movie, but apparently not.
