The Original Ghost Rider Rides Again #7A (Marvel Comics 1992)

The Original Ghost Rider Rides Again #7A delivers the complete conclusion to a defining 1992 Marvel storyline, compiling Ghost Rider #80 and #81 into a single 52-page, full-color publication. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and inked by Kevin Dzuban and Danny Bulanadi, this reprint captures the dramatic resolution when the antagonist Centurious attempts to claim Johnny Blaze’s soul.

This volume features two separate sagas that permanently alter the character’s trajectory. “Stained Glass and Shadows!” charts Centurious’s return, while “The End of the Ghost Rider” depicts the spirit Zarathos taking control of Blaze’s physical form to combat the intruder. As their powers clash, both metaphysical entities become sealed inside a soul gem. This containment sequence frees Johnny Blaze of his curse, leaving him wholly human and facing a direct, unburdened path forward.
