Ghost Rider #11

Ghost Rider #11 drops readers into a world of "Hex, Lies & Inner Escape!" as Larry Stroman and Mark Texeira's cover blazes with the Spirit of Vengeance front and center — flaming skull roaring, chain swinging — while a monstrous, shadowy figure looms large and a second figure reels in the background amid an eruption of fire and chaos. The cover's warm orange-and-yellow inferno perfectly frames the sense of supernatural dread that drives the story title, "Through a Nightmare Revealed." Howard Mackie's script, brought to life by Stroman's pencils, Texeira's inks, and Gregory Wright's scorching colors, makes this 1991 Marvel issue a vivid snapshot of Ghost Rider at his most ferociously atmospheric.
