The Ghost Rider 1967


From when Marvel used the name Ghost Rider for a western hero they created. With the Johnny Blaze motorcycle riding Ghost Rider becoming more popular in the 70's they changed this one's name to Night Rider. Later they incorproated him into the history of the Ghost Rider and he even made it into the movie version.
