Ghost Rider Danny Ketch Epic Collection : Siege of Darkness

Danny Ketch, the second Ghost Rider, was one the hottest heroes of the 1990s comic book boom, and this Epic Collection contains adventures that have never before been reprinted!

Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze and their fellow Midnight Sons may believe demon queen Lilith has been defeated — but now they must contend with her hellish spawn, the Lilin! And as the Lilin spread, Lilith returns in an unholy alliance with Zarathos! Morbius is turned against his brethren, and Zarathos commands his ancient followers the Fallen — including Salomé, an evil former Sorcerer Supreme who spells bad news for Doctor Strange! Can Ghost Rider, Blaze, Blade, Morbius and their allies win the day — or will this be the end of the Midnight Sons?

Howard Mackie got his start at Marvel during the late 1980s as an editor and then a writer. One of his first series as full-time scribe was 1990’s massively popular Ghost Rider, which introduced the alter ego Danny Ketch to the mythos of the Spirit of Vengeance. He also wrote prolifically in the Spider-Man and X-Men titles of the ’90s.

Steven Grant has written Captain America, Incredible Hulk, Master of Kung Fu, Spidey Super Stories and more. In 1985, he penned the first Punisher miniseries, revisiting the character in several Holiday Special stories and the graphic novel Return to Big Nothing. Grant has also written First Comics’ American Flagg, Shatter and his creator-owned Whisper.

An editor and colorist as well as a writer, Gregory Wright provided both scripts and colors not only for Deathlok, but also for fellow 1990s favorites Morbius and Silver Sable. He also wrote both Daredevil and Nick Fury and colored Amazing Spider-Man, Captain America, Fantastic Four, X-Men: The Hidden Years and other Marvel titles. His DC work has been similarly wide-ranging, with coloring stints on such series as Batman, Nightwing, Starman, Teen Titans and Zero Hour: Crisis in Time. He has earned two Comics Buyer’s Guide Fan Awards for Favorite Colorist.

Having begun his career on G.I. Joe, Eisner Award-nominated artist Ron Garney is known for well-received runs on Captain America and Amazing Spider-Man. He has teamed with writer Jason Aaron on Wolverine, Wolverine Weapon X and Ultimate Captain America. Garney has also contributed design work to such films as Will Smith’s I Am Legend and Nicolas Cage’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. His later Marvel work includes Uncanny X-Force and a collaboration with Charles Soule on Daredevil. Garney reunited with Aaron on Thor: God of Thunder and then the creator-owned Men of Wrath for Marvel’s Icon imprint.

Artist Andrew Wildman made a name for himself on Marvel UK titles including Thundercats, The Real Ghostbusters and Transformers, soon graduating onto the American Transformers series with writer Simon Furman. Wildman’s subsequent credits include G.I. Joe, Venom: Carnage Unleashed and Spider-Man 2099.
