Decades: Marvel in the '70s - Legion of Monsters #[nn]

In "The Monster and the Masque," Johnny Blaze confronts a terrifying crossroads when he risks everything to save the father figure who raised him—leading to a fateful pact that transforms him into the flaming specter known as Ghost Rider. Written by Gary Friedrich and Roy Thomas, with moody, dynamic art by Mike Ploog and lettering by John Costanza, this 2019 tale from Decades: Marvel in the '70s captures the raw, supernatural edge of the character’s origin. The cover, a striking collaboration by Neal Adams in pencils and inks, perfectly encapsulates the haunting duality at the heart of the story.
