The Original Ghost Rider #4B (Marvel Comics 1992)

Featuring cover art by Joe Quesada and Jan Anton Harps, this 1992 newsstand edition of The Original Ghost Rider #4B delivers exactly 36 pages of full-color storytelling across its primary and backup features. Originally distributed at $1.75, this variant carries specific barcode placement and distributor markings that distinguish it from direct-market impressions, providing a clear reference point for regional completionists.

The core narrative adapts "...The Hordes of Hell!" from a script by Gary Friedrich, with visual execution by Mike Ploog and Jim Mooney. This sequence reconstructs the longstanding clash between the Spirit of Vengeance and Satan while permanently integrating Snake-Dance, Sam Silvercloud, and the Serpent-Men into published continuity. The issue also resolves Crash Simpson’s extended storyline within the series.

Collector value expands through a reprinted backup feature included in the same issue. "End Of The Line Chapter One" positions the Phantom Rider at the forefront, driven by a Dan Slott screenplay and Dick Ayers artwork originally lifted from Marvel Spotlight #8. Examination of the interior reveals intact centerfolds, standard newsstand grading windows, and consistent full-color printing throughout.
