Well, there's some disagreement between Roy, Mike, and I over that. Gary liked it, so they went off and did it. I had this idea for the skull-head, something like Elvis' 1968 Special jumpsuit, and so forth, and Ploog put the fire on the head, just because he thought it looked nice. He should start out right away in his own book." When Gary wasn't there the day we were going to design it, Mike Ploog, who was going to be the artist, and I designed the character. I said, "Yeah, Gary, there's only one thing wrong with it," and he kind of looked at me weird, because we were old friends from Missouri, and I said, "That's too good an idea to be just a villain in Daredevil. Anyway, when Gary Friedrich started writing Daredevil, he said, "Instead of Stunt-Master, I'd like to make the villain a really weird motorcycle-riding character called Ghost Rider." He didn't describe him. I had made up a character as a villain in Daredevil-a very lackluster character-called Stunt-Master. Thomas, Marvel's editor-in-chief at the time, described the character's genesis: Several different creative teams mixed-and-matched until penciller Don Perlin began a long stint with issue #26, eventually joined by writer Michael Fleisher through issue #58. After a seven-issue tryout run in Marvel Spotlight, the character received a self-titled Ghost Rider series in 1973, with penciller Jim Mooney handling most of the first nine issues. (2017).įollowing the western comics character who originally used the name, the first superhero Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, debuted in Marvel Spotlight #5 (August 1972), created by writer Gary Friedrich, Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Roy Thomas, and artist Mike Ploog, with the name Johnny Blaze coming from Stan Lee. Johnny Blaze was portrayed by Nicolas Cage in the films Ghost Rider (2007) and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011), and by Tom McComas in the fourth season of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The character has been featured in various media adaptations, such as television series, feature films, and video games. With his supernatural powers, Johnny seeks vengeance as the "Ghost Rider". The character's story begins when motorcycle stuntman Johnny Blaze becomes bound to the Spirit of Vengeance Zarathos after making a deal with Mephisto to spare his surrogate father.

The decidecly simple lyrics aren't even a weakness as fas as i can tell with the pulsing electronics in the background, swelling and swelling to a fever pitch while Vega screeches and hollers, barely containing himself from bursting at the seams, the simple declarations like 'america america/is killing its youth' take on a definitive quality, summing up an age of political turmoil & culture shock. Intense doesn't begin to describe this music, it conjures up what it must've actually feel like to be stuck in some squalid urban hellhole, the walls closing in around you with a needle stuck in your arms & no paycheck. just the quality of the songs is indictment enough of a rotting system. They don't need to discuss politics, theyre focus isn't nearly so narrow. So far I've only heard this and the incredible 10 minute 'Frankie Teardrop'īut i can easily understand why this duo are considered punk pioneers.
