Today, Superhero Hype! scored exclusive first shots of artwork for writer-director Mark Steven Johnson’s GHOST RIDER, which stars Nicolas Cage, Wes Bentley, Eva Mendes, Matt Long, Sam Elliott, Peter Fonda, Donal Logue, Mathew Wilkinson and Daniel Frederiksen.
All I can say is, ‘Hot damn!’, because this stuff is awesome! I wish I could figure out who drew this stuff, because I’d love to get ahold of some prints, especially some shots of the horseback dude (which echoes the Skull Cowboy from THE CROW). Hopefully these show up in DVD form in the future (are you listening, Columbia?). Click on Ghost Rider to get to the rest of ’em.
In order to save his dying father, young stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze sells his soul to Mephistopheles and sadly parts from the pure-hearted Roxanne Simpson, the love of his life. Years later, Johnny’s path crosses again with Roxanne, now a gogetting reporter, and also with Mephistopheles, who offers to release Johnny’s soul if Johnny becomes the fabled, fiery Ghost Rider, a supernatural agent of vengeance and justice. Mephistopheles charges Johnny with defeating the despicable Blackheart, Mephistopheles’s nemesis and son, who plans to displace his father and create a new hell even more terrible than the old one.
