Ghost Rider #13

Ghost Rider looms large on this May 1991 cover, his flaming skull and spike-studded leather jacket filling the frame while a chain coils at his feet and an ominous fiery silhouette rises in the inferno behind him — it's a striking composition that captures the Spirit of Vengeance at his most brooding and imposing. Mark Texeira and Jimmy Palmiotti deliver the cover art with a painterly intensity, bathing the whole scene in deep oranges and reds that make Ghost Rider feel genuinely dangerous. With Howard Mackie writing and Texeira handling interior art as well, issue #13 looks like a strong chapter in this early-'90s series.
