Ghost Rider #59

Ghost Rider finds himself caught in a supernatural showdown on this 1981 Marvel cover, with the flaming-skulled hero swept up in a massive, monstrous wave conjured by the Water Wizard while the caped Moondancer looks on from above. Bob Budiansky's pencils and Frank Miller's inks give the scene a kinetic, churning energy — that towering water demon is genuinely unsettling, all crashing fury and jagged teeth. "Moon Over Dark Water!" sets up a formidable two-front threat, and the cover's breathless question — can even Ghost Rider defeat the deadly Water Demon? — makes it hard not to turn the page.
