Number 2215: Ghost Rider whacks a dog

Aw, cool off there, dog lovers. The dog that Ghost Rider whacks is a comic book dog. (As Robert Crumb once said, "It’s just lines on paper, folks.”)

Ghost Rider fights a sinister force that has turned a Western town into Hate Town. People invaded by devils, big snakes...yikes! I’d hate to live there!

Anyway, the writer has concocted a denouement that is, well, hard to swallow. But, that was the world of the Ghost Rider, where things are usually not as they appear to be. Grand Comics Database doesn’t credit the script to anyone, but Gardner Fox was the usual writer of Ghost Rider. Dick Ayers and Ernie Bache as listed as artists.

From Ghost Rider #9 (1952).
