About the character
Johnny Blaze made a deal with the devil and became the Ghost Rider — a flaming-skulled spirit of vengeance. First appeared in Marvel Spotlight #5, one of the most iconic Bronze Age debuts.
What is a first appearance worth?
Marvel Spotlight #5 has solid collector demand. A presentable raw copy in the UK typically attracts an offer in the low to mid three figures; high-grade or CGC-slabbed examples can push into four figures. Restored copies are worth less but still very much wanted — we buy across all grades and conditions.
Exact figures depend on grade and condition. See the full Marvel Spotlight #5 valuation guide →
