Ghost Rider #12

From the cover by Gil Kane and Tom Palmer, this 1975 Marvel issue puts Ghost Rider's flaming skull front and center as he tears through a desert landscape on his motorcycle, a red-clad woman clutching on behind him — while a yellow biplane bears down on them with menacing intent. The cover copy promises "The Phantom Eagle Flies Again… and this time he's a real phantom," setting up a collision between Marvel's supernatural biker and a ghostly World War I-era aviator. It's a genuinely compelling mashup of supernatural horror and pulp adventure that makes Ghost Rider #12 a fun snapshot of mid-'70s Marvel at its most imaginatively eclectic.
