View Ghost Rider details →In Mark Steven Johnson's 2007 comic-book fantasy, stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze sells his soul to Mephistopheles to save his dying father, and in doing so loses the pure-hearted Roxanne Simpson, the love of his life. Years later their paths cross again, with Roxanne now a driven reporter and Mephistopheles offering to free Johnny's soul if he becomes the flaming, skull-headed Ghost Rider.
