Ghost Rider #30 (Mckenzie/Perlin, June 1978). One of those crossover ideas I’m shocked hasn’t happened already! Strange probes Blaze’s soul, resulting in a supernatural body swap. Meanwhile a mysterious rider on horseback approaches… Could it be Carter Slade? I’ve been intrigued by the idea of a cowboy Ghost Rider since the Nic Cage movie but the early Slade comics are hard to find!
In 1979, DAREDVIL was a series that had been limping along for years. Perhaps its only saving grace, the thing that kept it from being cancelled, was the fact that it was one of the original Marvel titles that had been launched at the start of the 1960s at the dawn of the Marvel Age.

Wish I’d gotten into it sooner though. I’ve really grown to appreciate the Scottish culture/background through this series. Such a beautiful and rich history!
Daredevil #164 (Mckenzie/Miller, May 1980). Ben Urich has figured out that Matt is Daredevil (because he overheard Heather say it, some real top-notch investigative journalism there). Matt recounts his origin story, revealing some iconic pieces of his lore for the first time…
It must be said, this is a really striking cover to this issue of CAPTAIN AMERICA. And it showed a sort of novelty of approach that just wouldn’t have been done only a few years earlier, not showing potentially sales-driving guest-star the Hulk clearly in the image (though his presence in the story is cover blurbed.) But by only showcasing the Green Goliath’s fist, he makes for a stronger impact,…
