Among the many characters of the Marvel Universe, Ghost Rider can probably be considered the most atypical one. Halfway between the classic superhero driven by noble ideals and a demonic and vindictive entity, the character appears for the first time on Marvel Comics in 1972, under the guise of stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze, inspired by a long-standing narrative current, as well as a western series of Comics originally published in 1967. Ghost is a kind of souls-hunter, working on the payroll of Mephisto, the Lord of Demons, to whom he sold his soul and soon rebelled (essentially being the victim of deception), thus becoming a defender of the weak and innocent people. Over the years, the character has undergone several transformations, changing his identity several times, while maintaining unaltered the main features and appearing in different American Comic books (published in Italy in a rather discontinuous and fragmented manner). Bowen dedicated to this unusual hero several statues and this section deals with the third version (in chronological order) of the Ghost Rider, personified by Daniel “Danny” Ketch and characterized by a number of pointed elements on the suit and the systematic use of a long chain as a weapon of attack. Released in 2009 in 1000 samples, the statue was sculpted by Gabe Perna and Randy Bowen. The pose is static, frontal, and the character exhibits a true biker clothing: dark leather tight jacket with the collar raised, leather pants in jeans style and with a slightly greyish shade, semi-rigid and long boots. The jacket shows a very dark tone, almost black though with blue shades, and an excellent sculpt on chest, arms and the shoulder straps, here equipped with reinforced edges. Several sharp spikes with a conical shape stand out on the long gloves that cover both forearms, shoulders and waist, while the hero holds a long metal chain in his hands. The elliptical base depicts a road surface with the typical dividing lines of the roadway and the front is embellished with a sort of emblem depicting a skull. The whole figure, however, is strongly characterized by the face: a skull with the typical, disturbing and skinny traits, sculpted and painted to perfection, is wrapped in a translucent resin, colored by a rather bright orange tonality and showing the sinuous shape of a flame, which perfectly gives the idea of fire around the face of the Rider. In general the market quotations of the Ghost Danny Ketch statue are relatively high and this is not surprising to me: in fact, I think it represents the finest and most charming Bowen statue dedicated to this original hero.
