Ghost Rider #45

In "To Banish a Ghost!", Johnny Blaze answers the challenge of a brash young cyclist who questions his legacy, stepping back into the spotlight to defend his title as the world's greatest stunt cycle champion. Written by Michael Fleisher and brought to life with gritty energy by artist Don Perlin, this 1980 Marvel classic captures a rare moment of grounded rivalry before the flames of his supernatural destiny reignite. The cover, by Bob Budiansky and Bob Wiacek, perfectly frames the clash of generations on the track.
