In "The Art Gallery; Talkin' Snappy," Ghost Rider rides into Bison Bend to stop a cattle rustling gang led by Bart, only to find the Tarantula has taken control, demanding protection money from the townsfolk. When Benjamin Brooks refuses to pay, the Night Rider—aided by a young apprentice named Jamie—steps in to protect the town, using clever tricks and a lantern-projector to outwit the outlaws. Written by Gary Friedrich and Dick Ayers, with art by Dick Ayers and inks by Vince Colletta, this 1971 adventure blends Western grit with supernatural flair, all captured in a striking cover by Harold Johns.
