In "Now Rides the Pale Horseman," Federal Marshal Lincoln Carter arrives in a dusty frontier town to find his older brother, the legendary Ghost Rider, in grave danger. With townsfolk vanishing and shadows closing in, Lincoln teams up with the Ghost Rider to uncover a secret hidden in an abandoned mine—only to face a deadly collapse that changes everything. Written by Len Wein and brought to life by Dick Ayers’ dynamic art and Syd Shores’ inks, this gripping tale of legacy and justice features a pivotal moment in the Ghost Rider’s story. The cover by Herb Trimpe captures the tension perfectly, a 25-cent Western gem from 1971.
