*Marvel Comics ~Ghost Rider

The flame ignites here. This is Ghost Rider’s explosive first issue from Marvel Comics—a fiery debut that redefined supernatural storytelling in the Marvel Universe. - Ghost Rider #1 (1990): Johnny Blaze may have lit the match, but this issue introduces Danny Ketch as the new Spirit of Vengeance. A gritty, high-octane origin story that blends street-level crime with occult horror. Written by Howard Mackie, with haunting art by Javier Saltares and Mark Texeira, this issue launched a darker, edgier era for Marvel. From the first page, the tone is unmistakable: vengeance, fire, and fate. The transformation sequence alone is worth the price of admission—pure 90s intensity with chains, leather, and a flaming skull that became an icon. This issue kicked off a series that ran for 90+ issues and helped cement Ghost Rider’s place among Marvel’s most visually striking anti-heroes. Whether you're building a key-issue collection or chasing the origins of Marvel’s supernatural side, this is a cornerstone worth claiming.
