DescriptionMarch 1975, Marvel Two-in-One #8, Page #1 Splash, Sal Buscema pencils/Mike Esposito inks, “Silent Night… Deadly Night!”, A classic tale from my youth that takes place on Christmas Eve in 1974. The Thing teams up with Ghost Rider! Written by Steve Gerber!Ghost Rider, biking across the Arizona Desert on Christmas Eve, nearly collides with three men who seem to be the Three Wise Men of Biblical fame and goes on to find a near-perfect recreation of the first Christmas. In New York, Mister Fantastic is observing a strange new star. He determines the location to which the star is pointing--the Konohoti Indian Reservation in Arizona. To prevent Reed from missing his family’s Christmas party, the Thing insists on investigating. Meanwhile, Ghost Rider gets closer to the recreation of Biblical Bethlehem and finds the "Joseph" and "Mary" of the act. It turns out that all present in the town are members of the Kwazee Native tribe. Ghost Rider is then attacked by the Miracle Man, who hurtles him out of the town in a tornado. When the Thing arrives, Ghost Rider agrees to accept his help and the two sneak back into the city disguised as two of the three wise men. There they confront the Miracle Man, who reveals to Ben that he conjured up this re-enactment as part of a plot for revenge against both the tribe and the Fantastic Four for his previous defeat at their hands. After a battle against Ghost Rider and Thing, the Miracle Man is knocked out. Suddenly the ancient Native Americans that gave Miracle Man his new powers appear and take him away, reversing all the damage he had done. Social/Sharing |

Great second year of Ghost Rider and he was accelerating up in popularity in and out of Marvel. He became a symbol of freedom, counterculture, and no limits adventure.

A really fun title page, and the story details you put in always help to contextualise the piece. I was always a sucker for a Marvel Christmas tale, and putting the Thing into them made them even better! Nice catch!
