The Original Ghost Rider Rides Again

In 1991, Marvel revived the Western Ghost Rider for a seven-issue series that paired the original, Carter Slade, with the supernatural vengeance of the modern era. Written primarily by J. M. DeMatteis, Bob Budiansky, and Roger Stern, with art by Bob Budiansky and Don Perlin, this short run explored the legacy of the Phantom Rider against a backdrop of frontier justice and mystical threats. It stands as a notable, if brief, attempt to reconnect Marvel's Western heritage with its darker, contemporary tone.
