Review

"The collection contains the best stories of the Johnny Blaze version of the Ghost Rider since his early appearances in Marvel Spotlight. The stories really pick up under writers J.M. DeMatteis and Roger Stern. They each handle a few stories, then DeMatteis writes the concluding eight issues of the original series." -- squidoo.com

"One of my favorite re-tellings of an origin is Ghost Rider #68 by the great Roger Stern, who puts a unique twist on things with an excellent frame story." -- Scott Harris

"Roger had the Midas touch with just about everything he wrote for Marvel. Spider-Man, Avengers, Hulk, Doctor Strange, you name it." -- J.M. DeMatteis

"DeMatteis' Ghost Rider scared me ... which, of course, was the whole point. Wonderful, eerie stuff." -- Roger Stern
