About this Issue

Marvel Comics Presents #67 (cover-dated December 1990) is the issue in which Brass — the telepath and former Navy SEAL Sean Watanabe — steps fully out of the shadows for his first complete on-panel appearance, having been glimpsed only in silhouette two issues prior. As the fourth chapter of the 'Acts of Vengeance' Wolverine/Ghost Rider serial, it also marks the debut of the villainous Triad Brothers, deepening the Deathwatch mythology that was central to Danny Ketch's Ghost Rider in his earliest adventures. The issue also closes out the eight-part Poison serial by Steve Gerber, making it a capstone for one of the anthology's longer-running secondary features of that era. Taken together, the issue illustrates how Marvel Comics Presents functioned as a genuine character-development workshop operating alongside — and feeding into — the mainline superhero universe.

History

The Wolverine/Ghost Rider 'Acts of Vengeance' serial running through Marvel Comics Presents #64–70 was written by Howard Mackie — the same writer who launched Danny Ketch's Ghost Rider solo series in 1990 — with art by Mark Texeira and inks by Harry Candelario, all under editor Terry Kavanagh. Mackie used the anthology's short-chapter format to expand the Deathwatch crime-war mythology he was simultaneously building in the ongoing Ghost Rider title, introducing supporting players like the Watanabe family across multiple installments. The Poison serial that concludes in this issue was written by Steve Gerber, veteran creator of Man-Thing, who contributed to the anthology's tradition of pairing its lead Wolverine feature with stories spotlighting lesser-known Marvel characters in standalone or serialized format.

Trivia · 8 facts

Story 1 ('Acts of Vengeance Part 4: Uneasy Alliance') is the first full appearance of Brass (Sean Watanabe), a low-level telepath and former Navy SEAL; he had appeared only in shadow in Marvel Comics Presents #65.
Story 1 also contains the first appearance of the Triad Brothers, antagonists serving Deathwatch who kidnap Brigitte (Emmaline) Watanabe to draw out Brass.
The Wolverine/Ghost Rider serial is part of the larger 'Acts of Vengeance' crossover event spanning Marvel Comics Presents #64–70, written by Howard Mackie with art by Mark Texeira and inks by Harry Candelario.
Story 2 is the concluding chapter of a Steve Gerber-written Poison serial that ran continuously from Marvel Comics Presents #60; it features Poison (Cecilia Cardinale), Joe Trinity (Mop Man), and the crimelord Slug (Ulysses Lugman). Poison had originally debuted in Web of Spider-Man Annual #4.
Story 3, written by Robert Denatale with art by Tom Morgan, features the Fantastic Four (Reed Richards, Sue Storm Richards, Johnny Storm, Ben Grimm) in a standalone eight-page adventure.
Spider-Man (Peter Parker) appears in the issue's wraparound cover alongside Ghost Rider (Danny Ketch), Wolverine, Poison, and the Human Torch.
The Ghost Rider appearing in the Wolverine serial is Danny Ketch (the third Marvel character to carry the name), who had debuted just months earlier in Ghost Rider Vol. 3 #1 (May 1990), created by Howard Mackie and Javier Saltares.
The Wolverine/Ghost Rider 'Acts of Vengeance' serial from issues #64–70 was later collected in the trade paperback 'Wolverine and Ghost Rider in Acts of Vengeance' and also included in the Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch Epic Collection Vol. 1.
