In "The Curse of Jonathan Blaze!", Johnny Blaze takes center stage at Ralph Quentin’s traveling carnival, where his fiery reputation precedes him. As reporter Cynthia Randolph digs into his past and a troubled clown fears his long-lost son’s return, Johnny’s dark legacy ignites when a drunken rival meets his fate—only to confront the Ghost Rider himself. Written by Stern and illustrated by Budiansky, with inks by Simons, colors by Roussos, and letters by Albers, this issue’s cover by Budiansky and Rubinstein captures the eerie spectacle of a man caught between showmanship and damnation.

In "Personal Demons," Johnny Blaze, now the haunted star of Ralph Quentin’s traveling carnival, finds his past catching up with him in the most unexpected ways. When a drunken Harry Donovan lashes out at him, the Ghost Rider’s wrath ignites — but the real danger may lie not in the flames, but in the secrets buried beneath the circus lights. As reporter Cynthia Randolph digs into Johnny’s history and clown Corky Franklin braces for the return of his estranged son Eliot, the carnival’s twisted carnival of sins begins to unravel.
