I only collected 2 series from the 60s. One is Jonah Hex, probably the grittiest, most violent Western story pre-Deadwood. Like Zane Grey as illustrated by the artists from Creepy magazine.
The other is Ghost Rider.
Ghost Rider is the story of a deal with the devil. It's also the story of a man walking the line between two worlds. This man works as a carnival stunt motorcyclist by day, then hunts criminals as the terrifying Ghost Rider by night.
How a Hollywood writer could take such a simple premise and create an almost unwatchable pile of bloated screen-pollution is beyond me.
Bad acting, convoluted plot, gratuitous destruction, inane dialog and story pacing that makes the movie seem like it's slowing time minute by torturous minute.
The single redeeming factor is the 'Ring of Fire' MTV video sequence.
Please don't let them do Jonah Hex.
