Jayman Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) From the GCD: “The Hell-Rider appears to be a non-supernatural forerunner of Marvel’s Ghost Rider, which was also created or co-created by Gary Friedrich.” A fun, kind of over the top 2 issue series from Skywald that featured “The Butterfly” which is believed to be the first African American female superhero.

shadroch Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I read the second issue, and while I don't remember it, I wasn't inspired to pick up any other issues. Easy Rider shook up the nation, Evel Knievel was becoming a mainstream star, and motorcycle thrill shows drew huge crowds. His Snake River fiasco was shown in thousands of theatres on a pay-per basis. Llarr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadroch Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Some of those B&W mags had great ad pages. Authentic Transylvanian soil was a favorite of mine. Llarr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llarr Posted 21 hours ago Author Share Posted 21 hours ago I have long been fan of the "Skywald" type mags, this just seems to be such an off-beat title that cannot go ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
