About the series
Marvel Spotlight (1971–1977) served as a key tryout series for dark, supernatural concepts at Marvel, introducing readers to Johnny Blaze’s fiery Ghost Rider and Daimon Hellstrom, the Son of Satan, alongside figures like Satan and Roxanne Simpson. Writers Steve Gerber, Gary Friedrich, and Gerry Conway, paired with artists Mike Ploog, Jim Mooney, and Sal Buscema, crafted a 33-issue run that helped define the company’s horror-tinged corner of the 1970s. It matters as a launching pad for iconic occult heroes, blending gritty action with eerie atmosphere.
