Ghost Rider: Shake Hands with Satan !

Ghost Rider: 'Shake Hands with Satan !'
Ghost Rider No. 2, October 1973
In this issue of Ghost Rider, writer Gary Friedrich throws in some supercool 70s-style Satanism: a 'Witch Woman' in microscopic, red leather hot pants and knee-high boots; a biker gang; a blonde chick in a short skirt; and the Devil (i.e., Mephisto) himself......! 

Add in some great artwork from the underrated Jim Mooney, deft inking from the veteran Syd Shores, and a great coloring job by Linda Lessman (this was back before digital coloring even existed). 

All in all, this issue of Ghost Rider was as provocative as a Code-approved comic book could get, back in the Fall of '73..........
