Depends on how specific you want to get.

His first published work is an in-house ad in Prize Comics #5, released in May of 1940 (cover date July 1940) for The Green Lama.

It is believed that he penciled, along with John Hampton, an 8 page Lance Hale story in Silver Streak Comics #6 (Lev Gleason), released July 1940 (cover date September 1940). 

With John Hampton writing, he pencils and inks a 5 page Dr. Voodoo story in Whiz Comics #9 (Fawcett), released August 1940 (cover date October 1940). This would be his first real, solo work.

He'd do another 5 pg Dr. Voodoo story with John Hampton writing, in Whiz Comics #10 (Fawcett), released September 1940 (cover date November 1940). 

THEN, he would do his first Green Lama 8 page story (writer, Ken Crossen), in Prize Comics #7 (Black Owl cover by Jack Kirby), released October 1940 (cover date December 1940).

note: Green Lama (Jethro Dumont) was first introduced in the pulp magazine Double Detective #5 (April 1940 cover date).

His first COVER would be of Minute Man for Master Comics #12 (Fawcett) released February 1941 (cover date March 1941).

I think I’m going to convince myself his first work was Whiz 9 instead of Silver Streak for budget purposes 😂. Thanks so much!

I'm sure you guys would recognize some Mac Raboy covers even if you don't know his name. His peak work was runs of very stylish, iconic WWII covers, mostly for Fawcett (Master, Capt Marvel Jr, etc). Here's one (not my book) --
