However, like the previous series, this Ghost Rider began facing slumping sales that forced writers and editors into a series of stunts that just kept losing more and more readers anyway. “You can’t keep a good ghost, or a Ghost Rider, down for long…” Eventually, Johnny Blaze was reintroduced into the series, and it was later revealed that Blaze and Ketch were, in fact, half brothers with the same mother. This Ghost Rider was featured in other books as part of a number of high profile team-ups he fought alongside the X-Men in one crossover and was part of an ad hoc Fantastic Four with Spider-Man, Wolverine and Hulk in another. This Ghost Rider was an immediate success and soon inspired a number of companion books, all part of a line called “Midnight Sons”, to be launched as well. In a retcon later on, it was revealed that the Devil figure was really Marvel bad guy Mephisto, but this fact has also seemed to have retconned back to the original version. Zarathos had consumed souls for eons and his joining with Johnny created the Spirit of Vengeance, the Devil’s own bounty hunter, who’s charged with bringing in the damned. The Devil, in turn, bound Johnny’s soul to the demon Zarathos, it was an act of revenge for the fact that Johnny’s love Roxanne was able to drive him away with the power of her emotions, especially her love for Johnny. In order to save the life of his stepfather, Johnny sold his soul to the Devil. Thomas and Friedrich decided to try a different approach to the Rider and once the new character became a hit the original western Ghost Rider was rechristened the Night Rider until that name’s association with the Ku Klux Klan forced another name change to Phantom Rider.Īrtist Mike Ploog joined Thomas and Friedrich on the first adventure of the new Ghost Rider, a circus stunt motorcyclist named Johnny Blaze. The character though continued on into anthology books like Western Gunfighters and appeared in stories throughout the 70s.
