11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Third Time not quite a charm By Stephen Vincent Kempton Canton Street Press is a new small publisher of archival comic book material. They are the former owners of the online comic retailer Tales Of Wonder. I own both of their previous two collections and was quite an advocate for them.This collection reprints the now public domain comic material from the Magazine Enterprises Ghost Rider comics #1 to #5 in their entirety. Plus you get the first four appearances of Ghost Rider from Tim Holt #11 to #14. All of these originally dated from 1949 to 1951.The book was produced in a quality format with good quality paper and a sewn binding. While some restoration has been done, it quite frankly is not up to even the quality of the first two books Canton Street Press has produced. My overall feeling is it is that it is all too dark and could have been greatly improved with just lightening it up some more. If you don't have a problem with quality of the PSArtbooks editions you shouldn't be too disappointed. Because it is of a similar calibre. One clue I can find for this decline in restoration quality is the publishers said in an a recent interview that this had been done for a couple years and had just been put on hold. Perhaps it even pre-dates the earlier work.My other complaint about the book is the giant leap in price point. The Airboy was $24.99 then Canteen Kate was $28.99 now this is $49.99. That is quite a price jump.Tony Isabella gives a fun and informative introduction. That introduction is dated April 2013. More proof that this material was put together much earlier.Even though the Tim Holt comics are older then the Ghost Rider comics they are in the back of the book. The only reason I can think for this is both Tim Holt #11 and the first story in Ghost Rider #1 tell the same origin story. This way you read the better, more defining origin first.US Marshal Rex Fury was secretly Calico Kid appearing in earlier issues of Tim Holt Comics , but suddenly with Tim Holt #11 Rex stopped being the Calico Kid and adopted an entirely new identity as the Ghost Rider. None of the earlier Calico Kid adventures are included , nor are all the Ghost Rider stories from Tim Holt Comics included. In fact we have material enough for three or four more like sized volumes. Since this is only volume one , we can hope for more.Sing-Song the racist Asian stereotype is his faithful sidekick. He also had the same role for the Calico Kid. Sing-Song is actually there for more then just comedy relief as he becomes more of a full partner and helps save the day in some stories.Ray Krank is credited with writing the first Ghost Rider story but most of the others have all been credited to Gardner Fox . Gardner Fox's importance in comics history is closely identified with his work done during the Silver Age of DC Comics.The stories themselves all vary in writing quality but all run a compact six to eight pages. More story often happens in six pages of these, then in six issues of a current comic.Another thing to remember are these stories are pre-code comics. For example in the story from Tim Holt #11 it opens with Rex being worked over by some evil American Indians. Our Hero's face is depicted with numerous cuts and blood streaming down his face. That same story closes with evil Indian being impaled with a jagged wagon wheel spoke.The non-cover artwork is all the work of Dick Ayers. Ayers of course is remembered for his Sgt. Fury and his other early Marvel work. In 1967 Marvel brought back the western Ghost Rider but changed his alias to Carter Slade. Dick Ayers also illustrated that version of Ghost Rider drawing him exactly the same. While Magazine Enterprises was long dead, I am not sure wether Marvel was in their legal rights to do that.Frank Frazetta is one of the main reasons collectors first sought out this material . The Frazetta covers for Ghost Rider #2 to #5 are all included and a big selling point.I am really hoping we get another volume and really hoping the restoration improves. Because this is really fun material.
