“Ghost Rider”

In "Ghost Rider," the vengeful spirit of a World War I flying ace returns to torment his former enemy, a German pilot from the past, as the legacy of war echoes through time. The modern-day grandson of the fallen pilot finds himself caught in the crossfire, while Ghost Rider steps in to confront a haunting that spans decades. Written by Tony Isabella and illustrated by Frank Robbins, with inks by Frank Giacoia and Mike Esposito, and lettered by Karen Mantlo, the issue's striking cover by Gil Kane and Joe Sinnott captures the supernatural tension of a story where past sins refuse to stay buried.
