Description

You know I loves 'em obscure! And here's Hell-Rider, star of his own title in the early 1970s, only to be cancelled after 2 issues and never seen again. But here he is again in my gallery. Don't call it a comeback.

Making his first appearance in my gallery is the great Tod Smith! Tod is an industry veteran who has drawn such titles as DC's Vigilante and Omega Men. Here he presents his version of the Ghost Rider predecessor -- and inking those slammin' pencils is none other than the Ink King himself, Bob Almond.

Even though this is Bob's first time inking Tod, you never know it from how smoothly he inked this baby. No wonder he's pretty much the exclusive inker in my gallery.

Kudos to Tod and Bob for a dynamite commission.

Hell-Rider! Hell-Yeah! I remeber a friend of mine having that first issue. That was long before I started buying comics. He was a bike lover,not a comic fan. I think this guy vs. Ghost Rider would be a classic! Nice one Damon,big fan of Tod's DC work!

Especially as they were both created by Gary Freidrick(sp?).

A new project piece for you Damon ;) ?

Had to google that!:) I didn't know Freidrich created that character too,must have had a thing for bikers.Art from Andru and Esposito was a bunus. That first issue cover was killer! Get on that team-up Damon!

Another fantastic piece with the wonderful (comics) history lesson, my friend!!! Admiring great art plus learning more about lesser-known comic book characters... I'd say that it's a win-win!!!!!!

Nobody, but nobody, gets more incredible mileage out of characters no one else remembers than does the man, the myth, the legend that is Damon Owens. This sweet ride blows my mind! Great work by Smith and Almond (not to be confused with Smith and Wesson, which is a whole other thing).
