“The Rock and Roll Conspiracy!”

In "The Rock and Roll Conspiracy!", the Defenders find themselves tangled in a dangerous misunderstanding when they wrongly accuse Ghost Rider of ties to the Six-Fingered Hand. With the help of the enigmatic rider, they must confront Asmodeus Jones, a rock star with a dark agenda, as he prepares to trade his fans' souls to the demonic Fashima. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and illustrated by Don Perlin, Joe Sinnott, and Sal Trapani, with colors by George Roussos and letters by Diana Albers, this 1981 issue features a cover by Michael Golden.
