The original Ghost Rider was created by writer Ray Krank and artist Dick Ayers for Magazine Enterprises' Tim Holt comic book #11, dated November 1949. He started out as a horror-themed western avenger; when the trademark lapsed, Ayers and others brought i9t to Marvel, adapting it as a non-horror western comic in 1967. The original Ghost Rider was Rex Fury; he appeared in Magazine Enterprises' Tim Holt, Red Mask, and A-1 Comics until the Comics Code was instituted in 1954. Layer incarnations brought the character up to modern times, changed his identity and back story, adding the motorcycle and flaming skull and other doodads today's comic book readers may be familiar with.

I vaguely remember reading some of these way back in the 1950s when comic books were everywhere!
