This was one of my favorite offbeat pairings back in issue #74, so I thought I would give them another go 'round. The last time I had a painted cover, so for this one I went for a more traditional Bronze Age comic vibe. I used to love playing with the Evel Knievel wind-up stunt cycle (the ad from which this Knievel image came) when I was a kid - how cool would a Ghost Rider version of that toy have been?
IT MUST BE MY BIRTHDAY CUZ THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN BEGGING FOR SINCE YOU STARTED THIS BLOG!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteEvil Knievel was so cool growing up! How amazing that he was able to become a brand and household name! What was so great was that he tried great things. Okay, so most of his stunts ended with him breaking nearly every bone in his body - he at least tried. I will never forget the bio picture starring George Hamilton! In his day he would have been a great Ghost Rider!
If only Ponch and Jon from "CHiPs" could make a cameo in this it would be 70's heaven.

ReplyDeleteIf Marvel's Scourge showed up in the DC Universe they'd make him an editor.
ReplyDeleteOh, it was easy to get a Ghost Rider toy back in the day; all you needed was you Knievel toy set, a little accelerant applied strategically, and a match...
ReplyDeleteThis almost happened in a weird sort of way - Team America was a spin-off from Evel Knievel, and Ghost Rider appeared in #11 of the Marvel comic-book series based on that property.
ReplyDeleteGreatest toy ever!!
ReplyDeleteEvel Knievel positive hero of mines I will see him again.

ReplyDeleteI'm gonna go out on a limb and say, if you're an Evel Knievel fan and like comics, then chances are, Ghost Rider is your favorite. Nice pic. I'd love to have this as a poster in my office. I'm also glad Marvel got Ghost Rider back from Sony.
