*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 pence printed copy is a bright, glossy, mid-grade copy, with staples tight at spine and centrefold and supple off-white pages. There is some wear to the right edge and corners, with a tiny colour-breaking crease across the top corner, the tiniest sliver off the bottom corner and minor creasing and wear along the very edge. But a great-looking copy.
