Review/plot:
Last issue, Johnny Blaze lost his championship title to Flagg Fargo.

Now, he's harassed by a gang of bikers because of it.

They catch him while he's drunk and beat him up pretty bad, and he has to be rescued by a cop.

Then a local prostitute (or maybe beer garden waitress?) takes him home.

Johnny develops a little relationship with the woman, but the bikers keep harassing them and eventually Johnny has to change into Ghost Rider to chase them away.

For once, the girl of the story isn't immediately repelled by the fact that Johnny is a demon, but Johnny is so used to getting dumped at this point in the story he leaves anyway.

Quality Rating: C

Historical Significance Rating: 1

Chronological Placement Considerations: It was "last week" that Johnny lost the competition against Flagg Fargo, from last issue.
