Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch #1

Danny Ketch roars back in this 2008 Marvel five-issue series, and Clint Langley's cover sets the tone immediately — a skull-faced Ghost Rider astride a massive, heavily armored motorcycle tears through rain-soaked darkness, glowing blue flames and rattling chains framing a figure that looks genuinely menacing. Langley handles every aspect of the cover art himself, and the moody, painterly atmosphere gives the whole image a cinematic weight that feels right at home in the darker corners of the Marvel universe.
