In "Tarantula No More!", the mystery of a masked outlaw deepens when the Tarantula is unmasked as Clay Riley, fiancé to the comatose Natalie Brooks. With Ghost Rider hot on his trail, Riley claims amnesia after a brutal fight, leaving Sheriff Brooks torn between loyalty and justice. When Natalie finally awakens, the town is thrown into turmoil—just as the Sheriff turns his attention to capturing Ghost Rider with a thousand-dollar reward on his head. Written by Gary Friedrich and illustrated by Dick Ayers, with inks by Tom Sutton, this gripping issue blends suspense and moral complexity. The cover, a dynamic collage by Herb Trimpe, Al Williamson, Joe Maneely, and Werner Roth, captures the tension in bold, overlapping styles.
