Let's just pretend I haven't been absent for the last couple of weeks, shall we? All right, then! Marvel Spotlight no. 9 is jam-packed with action, but for this "favorite panels" post I only chose two representative samples. One (from page 21) is the absolutely hilariously captioned image of Ghost Rider speeding into the desert to save Roxanne from being sacrificed to the Snake God (oh comics were so delightfully campy back then before people started taking them a bit too seriously).
The other is from page 24 (below), as Ghost Rider breaks onto the scene of the sacrificial ceremony. A nice full composition packed with overwrought narrative, Snake Dance announcing Ghost Rider's arrival (in case we missed it), random screaming minions, Roxanne tethered to a snake-shaped tree, and, of course, plenty of snakes, including two that rear like sea monsters from under Snake Dance's armpits. A scene that is absolutely absurd in every way, but delightfully so!
Next: the stunning secret of Snake Dance..."This land is ours!"
