Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch Epic Collection #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Epic Collection kicks off the 1990s Ghost Rider series starring Danny Ketch, the second character to take up the mantle of the Spirit of Vengeance. It collects the earliest issues of his solo run, introducing a darker, more supernatural tone as Danny grapples with his new powers and a mysterious past tied to the Medallion of Power. Alongside allies like Johnny Blaze and Doctor Strange, he faces off against classic foes like Zodiak and Dormammu, while early appearances by Blade and Moon Knight hint at the broader Marvel supernatural universe taking shape.
"Life's Blood" kicks off Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch Epic Collection #1 with a chilling Halloween Eve encounter at Houdini’s grave, where Dan and his sister Barb stumble into a violent clash between Deathwatch’s assassins and Kingpin’s enforcers. When Barb is shot, Dan flees with her, only to find a mysterious motorcycle with a glowing gas cap—transforming him into Ghost Rider in a moment of desperate need. The story unfolds with a pulse-pounding mix of supernatural dread and street-level stakes, as a stolen briefcase becomes a deadly prize in a war between shadows. Written by Howard Mackie and brought to life by Javier Saltares’ dynamic art, with inks by Mark Texeira, colors by Gregory Wright, and letters by Michael Heisler, the issue’s cover by Javier Saltares and Michael Golden captures the eerie intensity of the night.
