Monster Month Day 30 - Ghost Rider

I know by now that Tumblr's not too keen on super-dudes, but Ghost Rider is one of, if not the most un-heroic Marvel character there is.

He's a lot closer to a weird monster from an early 50's Weird Fiction comic. I love this dude.

BHOC: SGT FURY #149

For some reason, possibly simple inertia, I had started regularly reading SGT FURY even though I wasn’t typically a fan of war comics. That was maybe all right, because SGT FURY was really only a war comic in its trappings, the way HOGAN’S HEROES was about the war. It was really a comedic super hero action feature, it’s just that none of the principles had legitimate super-powers. But their…

WORLD PREMIER: LES GHOULS - locked away in the vault of Roy Thomas, released for the first time in 65 years for your viewing pleasure!

Les Ghouls is a 12½-minute, mostly black-&-white film made circa 1958 by a group of six teenagers in Jackson, Missouri, including Roy Thomas and Gary Friedrich, who went on in the 1960s to become writers and editors at Marvel Comics. It was intended as an homage to/ripoff of the 1948 movie classic Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, just filmed for a lark. It was filmed largely in black-&-white despite the relative difficulty of obtaining that kind of film even then. John Short, who owned the (new) movie camera, served as primary director; Roy Thomas scripted the movie (in synopsis form) and supplied all art and lettering appearing in the film. There were vague plans to eventually either record a soundtrack or to at least have the cast members accompany showings by narration and dialogue, but those plans never materialized.

CAST:

Slim--------------------------------------------------- Gary Friedrich

Slat ---------------------------------------------------- Ron Lowes

Dr. Sturdley ------------------------------------------ Andy Leonard

Melvin ------------------------------------------------ Lyle Hutteger

The Monster ------------------------------------------ John Short

Werewolf ---------------------------------------------- Roy Thomas

Roy Thomas and Gary Friedrich went on to become major writers in the comicbook industry.

Roy Thomas was an editor of Marvel from 1965-80, and editor-in-chief from 1972-74. He also scripted runs on such series as X-Men, Avengers, Conan the Barbarian, Savage Sword of Conan, Star Wars, Red Sonja, Kull the Conqueror, Daredevil, Captain Marvel, The Invaders, Incredible Hulk, Sub-Mariner, etc. He also co-created the likes of Wolverine, Carol Danvers (future Captain Marvel), The Vision, Ultron, The Squadron Supreme, The Invaders, Union Jack, Spitfire, Black Knight (Dane Whitman), Werewolf by Night, Man-Thing, Morbius the Living Vampire, Sunfire, Banshee, Valkyrie, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Doc Samson, Brother Voodoo, Warlock, Ghost Rider, Son of Satan, Thundra, Captain 3D, What If, Not Brand Echh, and others. In the ’80s he defected to DC Comics, where he co-created, wrote, and often edited All-Star Squadron, Infinity Inc., Arak – Son of Thunder, Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew!, Young All-Stars, and Jonni Thunder a.k.a. Thunderbolt, as well as writing the likes of Wonder Woman, Shazam!, Superman, Green Lantern, Batman, and Justice League of America. He has also written comics for Topps, Heroic, etc. He co-created both a super-hero comic and a comics-history magazine which were titled Alter Ego. His and wife Dann’s independent series Captain Thunder and Blue Bolt was optioned for a film in the ’90s. He has also written for films, TV animation, and live-action TV.

Gary Friedrich wrote several series runs for Marvel, including Sgt. Fury, Captain America, Nick Fury – Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Frankenstein, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men, Iron Man, Daredevil, [the Western] Ghost Rider, Combat Kelly, Captain Savage, and Captain Marvel—and was the major creator of [the motorcycle-riding, supernatural] Ghost Rider and the co-creator and first writer of Son of Satan. He served as assistant editor at Marvel from late 1966 to 1968. He and Roy Thomas co-created the concept for the Marvel comicbook Not Brand Echh. Gary also wrote for Skywald, Topps, and other comics companies. He passed away in August 2018.

Roy Thomas, Arnold Heck, Gary Friedrich, Archie Goodwin: Carol may be NASA chief of security, but she hates the military higher-ups' guts and will always put what she believe is right over their orders. Gerry Conway, Chris Claremont: Carol's first love is writing. She published a tell-all exposé about her experiences in NASA which pissed off the military higher-ups quite a bit. She's an hardass investigative journalist who has no problem going against the government and military. She has massive untreated PTSD from when she was in the military before that. She is an ally of the anti-government mutant rights movement and she happily hacked the Pentagon's central database to wipe out all evidence of both her and the X-Men's existence. She strongly empathizes with Mar-Vell's own rebellion against his military. David Michelinie, Kurt Busiek: Carol enjoys casually threatening to maim obstructive bureaucrats because she actively wants her identity and past to remain a secret. Brian Reed, Brian Michael Bendis: Carol tried to be the middle ground between the underground resistance and the government in the first Civil War, and even then only because the pro-Registration side was led by a friend of her. She kept angsting about her best friend Jessica Jones and her daughter (Carol's goddaughter) being in Canada due to it and she was relieved when it ended (even if it was due to the Skrulls invading). During Norman Osborn's dictatorship she was one of the most radical members of the underground resistance due to her strong anti-imperialist convictions borne out of her being tortured when she was 18 by CIA regime change agents. Christos Gage: Her House of M reality counterpart (representing her greatest wish and which she spent her entire second stint as Ms. Marvel trying to emulate because she has all her memories) was a double agent inside S.H.I.E.L.D. for the mutant rights movement and a key figure in overthrowing the right-wing anti-mutant Nixon-Trask regime. Kelly Sue DeConnick:

I feel like this interview is somehow the galaxy-brained missing key to explaining everything that’s happened to Carol since becoming Captain Marvel. (cc @chadfarsight @danzafila)

BHOC: MARVEL TRIPLE ACTION #45

Now this was a bit of a surprise when I rolled up into the 7-11 that week. Up until this point, MARVEL TRIPLE ACTION had featured reprints of earlier issues of AVENGERS. But with no warning whatsoever, this latest one instead contained a classic issue of X-MEN. The clue as to the reason was apparent on this cover, as Cyclops was battling Quicksilver, until recently a member of the Avengers in…
