*Marvel: In the early 1970s, with the supernatural craze at its height, Marvel sought ever-more ingenious ways to produce horror/mystery series which got around the then-Draconian censorship of the Comics Code Authority. One such was Ghost Rider, a retooling of a former Western hero as a stunt-riding Satanic minion (obviously!). After a short but successful run in Marvel Spotlight, Ghost Rider, who notwithstanding his devilish empowerment usually acted heroically, moved to his own series under the aegis of Gary Friedrich, Tom Sutton and Syd Shores, achieving a very respectable 80+ run, and not even two truly execrable movies starring Nicolas Cage have managed to dent his ongoing popularity! This is a decent mid-grade pence printed copy of the first issue, with good cover gloss, nice pages and firmly attached staples. Edge wear is minimal, but there is a felt-tip pen mark covering up the original 6p price, above which a small felt-tip pence price is written; this can be seen on the scan, which you can enlarge by clicking on it. (A higher grade cents copy is also available and listed in our catalogue)
