In "Capture or Death," Ghost Rider rides into Bison Bend to stop Bart and his gang from rustling cattle, only to find the Tarantula has taken control of the town, demanding protection money from its residents. When Benjamin Brooks refuses to pay, the Night Rider—Carter—steps in, teaching young Jamie the ropes as they work together to protect the townspeople. With the Tarantula’s gang on the move, the Night Rider uses cunning and a lantern-projector to foil their plans, earning the respect of the community. Written by Gary Friedrich and Dick Ayers, with art by Dick Ayers and inks by Vince Colletta, this 1971 adventure from City Magazines is a standout in the series' run, featuring a gripping clash of wills and the quiet rise of a new protector. Cover by Artie Simek.
