New York, NY— July 18, 2024 — Rev up your engines and get ready to ride! To celebrate Hispanic & Latin American Heritage Month, Marvel will spotlight trailblazing Spirit of Vengeance Robbie Reyes in GHOST RIDER: ROBBIE REYES SPECIAL #1. The one-shot will be the latest installment in the Marvel’s Voices line and will highlight Hispanic and Latin American creators and culture in three action-packed stories.
On sale in October, GHOST RIDER: ROBBIE REYES SPECIAL #1 will be written and drawn by a host of acclaimed talent and rising stars including the return of Robbie Reyes co-creator Felipe Smith! Robbie Reyes, the fiery street racer from East Los Angeles, debuted 10 years ago in All-New Ghost Rider #1 where he was engulfed in hellfire and given awesome new power! Since then, he’s become one of the most iconic Ghost Riders in the Marvel Universe and a valued member of the Avengers. In these exciting new tales, see how far Robbie has come as he puts vengeance into overdrive! Plus, GHOST RIDER: ROBBIE REYES SPECIAL #1 will feature the first ever appearance of FANTASMA, the all-new Ghost Rider created by Luciano Vecchio for last year’s New Champions variant cover program.
Today, fans see all three covers for GHOST RIDER: ROBBIE REYES SPECIAL #1 including the main cover by superstar artist Humberto Ramos, a breathtaking variant cover by Marvel Comics newcomer J. Gonzo, and a cover spotlighting Fantasma by Gerardo Sandoval.
Here’s what readers can expect from the three tales:

· Co-creator Felipe Smith and artist Daniel Bayliss unleash Robbie’s full power against an interdimensional enemy in an uplifting tale of inspiration and heroic destiny!
· Hell breaks loose at the roller derby in the thrilling debut of FANTASMA by writer Melissa Flores and Marvel Stormbreaker artist Jan Bazaldua! Meet Isabella “Izzy” Alvarez, a Colombian roller derby champ with a cursed secret, as she teams up with Robbie against a horde of Hellhounds!
