Ghost Rider is best approached as a screen interpretation of the character’s foundations rather than a panel-for-panel adaptation. Start with Marvel Spotlight #5–11, then compare it with Ghost Rider #1 (1973) and Ghost Rider #68–81. Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
