Story Featuring Ghost Rider

"Rain... Engulfing the city in a damp blanket of doom..."

Storyline

To save the life of his mentor and the man who has become like a father to him, Johnny Blaze makes a deal with the devil and is transformed into the spirit of vengeance, Ghost Rider.

Story Notes

This version of Ghost Rider was co-created by Gary Friedrich, Mike Ploog and Roy Thomas (credited with "aid and abetment" on the splash page). In 2012, the owners of Marvel Comics, Disney Corporation, won a court case asserting their rights to the character. Disney also won the countersuit by Friedrich, the ruling of which prevents him from promoting himself as the creator of Ghost Rider for financial gain.
