☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn this pivotal 1972 issue, Johnny Blaze confronts a desperate choice when he makes a pact with the devil to save the life of the father figure who raised him, transforming into the flaming spirit known as Ghost Rider. Written by Gary Friedrich and Roy Thomas, with moody, dynamic art by Mike Ploog—both in pencils and inks—this story captures the raw intensity of a man torn between sacrifice and damnation. The cover by Mike Ploog perfectly encapsulates the haunting, otherworldly presence of the newly born Ghost Rider, a 20-cent comic that remains a cornerstone of Marvel's supernatural legacy.
