Ghost Rider

Federal Comics revived the Spirit of Vengeance for a six-issue run in the mid-1980s, with Bob Budiansky and Brent Anderson among the artists steering Johnny Blaze through a short but intense supernatural saga. This series stripped the character back to his horror roots, emphasizing the curse of the Ghost Rider over superhero theatrics, and stands as a cult favorite for its moody, lean storytelling. While brief, it remains a key transitional moment for the character before his later, more cosmic adventures.
