☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Hell-Rider #1 Synopsis A young man named Johnny is offered a lucrative job by the law firm Williams & Williams to work for a wealthy businessman, but his first assignment involves protecting a woman named Julie from drug dealers and monitoring her activities. When Julie attempts to escape with a criminal contact and is pursued by armed enemies, Johnny transforms into the supernatural Hell-Rider to save her, battling a masked villain called the Claw who possesses superhuman strength. The origin story establishes Hell-Rider as the comic's primary hero, with his powers and purpose tied to protecting innocents and confronting the supernatural threats that plague the world.
A young man named Hell-Rider crashes violently into a criminal operation, searching desperately for a woman named Julie—only to discover his superhuman strength mysteriously abandons him mid-fight. Reeling from his sudden weakness, he flashes back to trace his transformation: a Harvard-trained lawyer who rejected his father's firm, embraced the outlaw motorcycle life on the West Coast, and ended up hospitalized after a brutal ambush that changed everything. As Hell-Rider pieces together how he gained his extraordinary power and why it's now failing him, his past and present collide in a way that will define his new identity.
When a young woman calling herself the Butterfly intercepts a pair of stolen boots, she sets her sights on tracking down the criminals who took them—following their trail from Las Vegas to a mysterious helicopter bound for parts unknown. With nothing but her flight pack and determination, the Butterfly pursues the thieves across the desert and into the sky, determined to uncover what they're truly after. A clever hero with gadgets and guts, she's willing to take on anyone—even if it means hijacking an aircraft mid-flight to get answers.
The Wild Bunch—a crew of five Oakland bikers led by the tough-talking Animal—get pulled into a dangerous mission when an old friend asks them to deliver a mysterious pair of boots to an attorney in Los Angeles. Trouble strikes fast when a rival gang intercepts them on the highway, sparking a brutal roadside confrontation where the stakes prove far higher than a simple errand. As the action escalates, the Wild Bunch discover they're caught in something much bigger and deadlier than any of them bargained for.
Hell-Rider races against time to save a young woman from a heroin overdose, only to find himself hunted by police—and caught between the ruthless Claw's hunt for mysterious boots and the Wild Bunch's desperate escape from a desert commune. As multiple forces converge on a small village, Hell-Rider must navigate roadblocks, gunfire, and betrayal to uncover who's orchestrating the chaos and stop the Claw before it's too late.
