In "A Demon In Denver!", a 2022 Marvel Masterworks entry, Johnny Blaze struggles with fragmented memories as he works at Langtree Motors by day and unknowingly transforms into Ghost Rider by night. When a high-stakes race with mechanic Travis turns deadly, Johnny’s lost past resurfaces just in time to face a lethal threat—only to flee moments later, leaving Gina behind and his own memories still scattered. Written by Michael Fleisher and illustrated by Don Perlin with inks by Perlin, colors by Ben Sean, and letters by Diana Albers, the issue’s cover by Bob Budiansky and Al Gordon captures the tension of a man caught between two lives.
