Ghost Rider / Blaze: Spirits of Vengeance #4A (Marvel Comics 1992)
Ghost Rider / Blaze: Spirits of Vengeance #4A delivers a pivotal 1992 Marvel comic scripted by Howard Mackie with interior art by Adam Kubert, Arthur Adams, Joe Kubert, and Tom Mandrake.
This 36-page, full-color edition documents a deliberate shift in Marvel’s supernatural hierarchy. John Blaze initially resists continuing his vengeful duties after Clara warns of larger dangers looming ahead, choosing instead to visit Dan Ketch upon his hospital release. The narrative tension rises when antagonists Hag and Troll attempt to transport Deathwatch’s corpse, forcing an unavoidable encounter that pulls both heroes back together to extract captives. Story continuity transfers directly to Web of Spider-Man #95, making this volume necessary for tracking character trajectories and shared-universe crossovers.
