Title:

Ghost Rider (Vol 2 | 1973)

Synopsis:
"EVIL IS THE ORB!”

The Uncanny Orb returns to plague Ghost Rider!

Worn out after his battle with Manticore, Ghost Rider loses his concentration on the highway and his hellfire motorcycle vanishes. Unconscious after the wreck, he transforms into Johnny. When he awakens, he hitches a ride into a nearby town. Elsewhere in the same town, Brahma Bill encounters Roxanne, who is searching for Johnny. She rebuffs Bill’s advances, which only encourages Bill further. While gassing up her motorcycle, she sees Johnny and tries to flag him down, but Orb interferes and hypnotizes her. Johnny buys a new bike and tries unsuccessfully to call Roxanne. When he leaves town Bill watches and follows. Outside of town, Orb and an entranced motorcycle gang attack Johnny. Orb begins to torture Johnny but Bill rescues him. Johnny transforms into Ghost Rider and defeats Orb. Afterward, Johnny and Bill part ways, and Bill returns to town, where he finds an amnesiac Roxanne waiting for him. Bill convinces Roxanne that they are old sweethearts.
