In "Panic on Pier One!", the Trapster, still recovering from his clash with Spider-Man and Ghost Rider, finds himself targeted by a chilling deception—his hospital room visited by a figure who looks exactly like Ghost Rider, thanks to a clever image inducer. Written by Scott Lobdell and brought to life by Vin Evans’s dynamic art, with inks by Phil Sheehy and colors by Mike Thomas, this 1991 tale blends suspense and psychological tension. The cover, a striking piece by Sam Kieth, captures the eerie moment with sharp detail and shadowed menace.
