Description
Cosmic Ghost Rider #1 variant cover
Art by Nick Roche
Marvel Comics - March 1, 2023

"VENGEANCE REAWAKENED!" This is Roche's variant cover artwork for issue 1 of the 2023 arc of CGR. There were multiple covers from Valerio Giangiordano, Ryan Stegman, Cory Smith, Todd Nauck and Roche, but this might be my favorite from bunch.

Just a killer shot of Cosmic Ghost Rider on his cosmic motorcycle tearing through the rings of Saturn with his chain creating some great movement across the page while beautifully interacting with the logo. It was also cool to see this was printed again for a special Virgin shop variant as well.

And trust that I spoke to my friend and CGR-czar, Rob when I was thinking about picking this one up.

Roche was also kind enough to include his original thumbnail drawings and ideas for this cover. Image included in the additional images section.

Thanks my friend! Lucky for me Rob is hyperfocused and generally doesn't go after the variant covers.

Thank you! Never mess with the CGR-czar. We might have to make this a shirt for Heroes!

Totally agree. This subject works great for the artist. I also really love the line weight he put on his chain.

Sweet cover George! I'm glad the CGR Godfather gave his blessing.

Wow, this is a stunner! Ghost Rider has always been such a visually fascinating character - and the CGR version with the space element bring it up another few levels. Easy to get lost in the detail on this cover. Major congratulations!

Um. Geez. Y'all make me sound like some kind of CGR mafioso. Let's just appreciate this amazing piece George posted and be thankful he's current on his CGR protection contributions.

4 wheels move the body.  2 wheels move the soul!  The outlaw of outer space, Cosmic Ghost Rider gets back in the saddle to tear through time and space!  Roche's art is far out as the most impressive cover of the bunch and the series is a fresh jumping on point for new readers!

Lol!  "I checked with Rob".  I gets it!  Love that he's cruising an asteroid belt, essentially!  Also...not space unspared.  Corner to corner Roche goodness!  Congrats!

Wow love the detail and energy in this cover. Hadn't heard of artist Nick Roche before but this piece caught my attention. Absolutely gorgeous piece!
