Ghost Rider: Trail of Tears

Set in the post-Civil War South, this Marvel miniseries from 2007 follows a freed slave who makes a dark bargain to save his family, becoming a host for the Spirit of Vengeance. Written by Garth Ennis with Daniel Ketchum and painted by Clayton Crain, it’s a grim, atmospheric Western that roots the Ghost Rider mythos in America’s brutal history of racial violence.
