Looking at the finished product I can't help but think "Where would you start?"

There is so much great stuff going on in this piece. From Ghost Rider's eyes to the Swarm and even The Fly! Great stuff, JB. You've once again topped yourself.

I think this is the first time I've seen JB draw Scorpion with the Ditko look and it's absolute perfection.

This has sky rocketed to one of my favorite JB commissions.

Ghost Rider was barely supernatural in those days. For all the supernatural stuff he did, he might as well have been some guy who had created a flaming-skull helmet.

********

Yes, something that very much disappointed me in reading the original Ghost Rider stories via the ESSENTIAL collection.  He's usually not even treated as if he looks supernatural.  Thugs routinely say things like, "You get the clown in the goofy skull mask."  Uh, I'm sorry but a guy in biker gear with a flaming skull would NOT look like he was wearing a mask!  I see this a lot in the horror comics of the 1970s.  Werewolves mistaken for men in "monkey suits" etc.  Bad writing I think.

Action packed!  A lot of fun.

Makes me wish that Spider-Woman series written by our host would have been centred around Jessica Drew (and helmed completely by Mr. Byrne!)

Very fun to look at. I really like these fictional comic book covers. Nice shot to the upper decks, JB!

Another winner from the master. Great detail work. Words cannot do it justice.

Love the shot of the Black Widow kicking The Fly.
