Ghost Rider #63

Ghost Rider roars straight at you on this striking 1981 Marvel cover, his flaming skull blazing as he wheels his fire-rimmed chopper out of a massive spectral skull looming in the background — a genuinely unsettling image that captures the character's supernatural menace at full throttle. Bob Budiansky and Bob Wiacek deliver a composition that's hard to look away from, with every detail reinforcing the sense of hellfire-fueled momentum. Rounding out the package, a banner announces the launch of the Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends animated series on NBC, making this a fun snapshot of Marvel's pop-culture reach in late 1981.
