So cool to see Mike draw Johnny Blaze and a fearless Stan! Add me to the line of envious spectators for this one.

Just when we thought Stan couldn't look any more cool, he's on a GR cover popping a wheelie!  That's what you call turning it up to eleven.

You made my week, Rubén! Mike's GR is just as badass as I thought he would be. Stan ain't half-bad either :) Appreciate you indulging the depths of my Marvel Zombiedom!

Credit to Perkins for drawing Stan on a motorcycle without it looking silly.  In fact, this is a pretty badass cover.

Mr. Perkins for the win!

That's a whopper of a cover...GR & SL!!!

Ok, Rubén, your job is to convince Mr Perkins to draw Ghost Rider. All it took was this post. So gritty and awesome, and we all know he'd bring out the proper horror I feel has always been missing from the title. And is that Etrigan's head on the front of the chopper? Also, I really like the concept with Stan. You posted another Marvel cover...Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Great piece. Congrats!

This is all kinds of cool!!!

That is HOT man!  In many ways!  Congrats!

I'm in love with you, Blaze, 'cause of Eranga's mind
You're the one I think about most every time
And when Stan cracks a smile and everything comes true
Don't you want Da Stan, sign this cover too?

Lines are soft, succulent so sweet and thin
That's kind of like a vision of Mike Perkins 
It lightens up my day, Thomas and Ploog
Together we're one, Ghost Riding we're two

To make you all mine, all my head is on fire
'Cause you contain a quality, you that I admire
To Perkins plain and simple
You rule my world
So try to sign it Stan

I'm in love, girl
I'm so in love, girl
I'm just in love, girl
Believer true

Girl, you know it's true
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I love you
Yes, Soapbox it too
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I love you

Eranga Knows It's True

I laughed out loud when I first spied Mr. Lee hot on GR's tail in this action-packed image!  I'd love to see a Perkins Ghost Rider series --- his mix of cinematic realism and atmospherics would serve the character very well!

Great to see STAN THE MAN riding, nice find!

That's one badass Stan!

If only I can stay as cool as Stan when I age. Love it.

It pays to have connections. This is a great story!

I like the use of the chain in the composition. The brushy skull and wheel effects are very nicely done as well. Congrats.

'Nuff said!

Thanks to Eranga for pulling this image from the brimstone depths of Ruben's collection ... and thanks to Ruben for posting! Love this - so well done. Excellent piece!

1 - Posted on 2/23/2022

not bad! ok who am i kidding, this rules. im not even a big ghost rider guy but Stan on the bike depicted by Mike next to Ghost Rider is priceless. thanks for sharing

1 - Posted on 2/23/2022

That's killer, man!  Great depth with the chain moving closer and closer, and got that sweet mix of meticulous B&W detail with subtle grey tone effects.  Perkins is one of the grandmasters in that area.  And gotta love Lee's smile :)  Congrats!

1 - Posted on 2/23/2022

Stan the Man looks awesomely cool riding alongside Ghost Rider, who looks terrifyingly fantastic!  Love how the fiery chains wrap around the top of the image.  Really frames it nicely.  One of Mike Perkins' best!!

I bet this made Eranga's day....or just heated up the jealousy! Stan makes a pretty great Ghost Rider companion. Love the dynamics, the shading, the depth and perspective. Great piece!

This is an AWESOME Cover. I liked all the Stan tribute versions and this is a beautiful example. Very nice.

The sirens are screaming, and the fires are howling

Way down in the valley tonight

Somewhere Stan the Man And Meatloaf are rockin' out right now.

Wow!  Hey, forget Mike on a Ghost Rider series, I want to see him on a new Stan Lee series!  (Nah - that was just to cause trouble.  Mike Perkins on Ghost Rider would be a pretty sweet deal.  But, exclusive contract and all, I'm delighted to follow Mike onto whatever project he chooses to do next. :) ). Absolutely LOVE the front tire on GR's bike here.  Awesome post, Ruben - using your comic art collection for the forces of good to spread joy (and make Eranga - and the rest of us - happy)!

Awesome Ghost Rider cover by Mike Perkins! I love Perkins' version of Johnny Blaze--the way his flaming skull is drawn here, with the top of the skull almost exploding off his head. And needless to say, the design of the hellscycle with the demon's head in front is to die for! The addition of Stan Lee to Ghost Rider's entourage is hilarious. I'm sure Stan is smiling from wherever he is right now.

Wow!!! What a cool cover GR with Stan the Man.

This is up there with the very best Ghost Rider artists. I think Mike nailed it perfectly.  I would be first in line to buy some of his art on Ghost Rider.  His take on the flaming skull is perfection with the fire slightly blurring the skull.  It is how I always imagined it.
