Ghost Rider / Blaze: Spirits of Vengeance #2B (Marvel Comics 1992)

Marked as a Newsstand Edition, this 1992 Marvel issue delivers a distinct barcode variation alongside Adam Kubert’s primary cover artwork and Howard Mackie’s script for the merged Ghost Rider and Blaze storyline.

Kubert executes both the exterior cover and interior pencil layouts, partnering with Chris Warner on finishes to establish the visual architecture of this supernatural crossover. The 36-page full-color sequence drives critical continuity forward: Steel Vengeance hunts John Blaze while Johnny Blaze lies unconscious, requiring intervention from the Quentin Carnival lineup. Once conscious again, the Ghost Rider identifies the location of Dan Ketch across dimensional thresholds, while Lilith monitors these movements through the sensory feed of Nakota.
