The Original Ghost Rider #1

The flaming skull of Johnny Blaze's Ghost Rider dominates this striking 1992 Marvel cover, his skeletal face wreathed in brilliant orange fire as he looms forward with both hands ablaze — a genuinely menacing presence rendered with bold confidence by cover penciler Mark Texeira and inker Jimmy Palmiotti. This series revisits the original Ghost Rider stories, reprinting the early adventures of Johnny Blaze with interior work by writer Gary Friedrich and artist Mike Ploog. If you've been curious about where the Spirit of Vengeance began, this is a very solid place to start.
