GHOST RIDER 1 (9.0) Newsstand,1st App DAN KETCH AS GHOST RIDER, 1ST DEATHWATCH *

Description: GHOST RIDER #1 MAY 1990 Ghost Rider Comic Stuff His father dying from an incurable disease, stunt-rider Johnny Blaze summoned the demon Mephisto and offered to trade his soul to save him. The spell was interrupted before the deal could be completed, but Mephisto still managed to get the best of Johnny. His guardian was cured, but was killed the next night in a failed stunt. Mephisto also bonded Zarathos, the flaming spirit of vengeance, to Johnny. Whenever Zarathos was in control, Johnny became a fiery skeleton, riding a bike made of hellfire. As this Ghost Rider, he became a force of vengeance against evildoers. An attempt to marry cycle action with the occult, Ghost Rider found some converts in the 1970's but felt dated by the 1980's, never really making it to the A-list of Marvel Super-Heroes. Johnny Blaze having been relieved of his curse at the end of Volume 1, Volume 2 found another victim. Item Description Stuff 9.0 VERY FINE/NEAR MINT (VF/NM): Nearly perfect with outstanding eye appeal. A limited number of bindery/printing defects are allowed. Almost flat cover with almost imperceptible wear. Inks are bright with slightly diminished reflectivity. An 1/8" bend is allowed if color is not broken. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted but no creases. Several lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable. No obvious soiling, staining or other discoloration except for very minor foxing. Spine is tight and flat. No spine roll or split allowed. Staples may show some discoloration. Only the slightest staple tears are allowed. A very minor accumulation of stress lines may be present if they are nearly imperceptible. No rust migration. In rare cases, a comic was not stapled at the bindery and therefore has a missing staple; this is not considered a defect. Any staple can be replaced on books up to Fine, but only vintage staples can be used on books from Very Fine to Near Mint. Mint books must have original staples. Paper is (no worse than) cream to off-white and supple. No hint of acidity in the odor of the newsprint. Centerfold is firmly secure. Very minor interior tears may be present.
