So I promised I would post up the new Ghost Rider paper doll and voilá!
Marvel just launched an "all-new" Ghost Rider series on Wednesday which manages to be even more idiotic and intellectually offensive than their last version, so it's fitting, I think, that I give the one and only original classic Ghost Rider the love he deserves.
And yes, sometimes I feel in a more just world, Ghost Rider would belong to the DC stable where he might not be so horrendously abused. Seriously; I have loved this character for decades. He was my first comic book love ~ far and above Batman the whole of my childhood and many years after. Marvel has never done right by him. Harsh, I know, but even in his original incarnation he never had a strong consistent team until the very end. I'm sure you'll hear more about it as we go.
So enough of my ranting: enjoy the paper dolls! As I said before, I am really proud of how these turned out. I feel like I captured the skully Ghost Rider and Johnny Blaze very well. And dig that 70s leather jacket with the Elvis collar. Right (Ride?)-on! And if you're wondering what happened to Plate 2, I'll be posting it very soon!
