This created the rounds of Facebook all day the other day. It's a tiny snippet about Gary Friedrich, Ghost Rider and who produced what.
I couldn't traceit back to the original poster, so I apologize for not giving him or her their deserved credit, especially in a post about credits!
1 of the issues between Marvel Comics and Gary is the problem of Gary's credit as the sole creator of Ghost Rider.
While it could not be definitive, this is an excerpt from Marvel's personal Bullpen Bulletins page in August 1972.
Marvel says of Ghost Rider: “…this GR is a mad, mod, mystic hero who straddles both the globe of motorcycles – and the supernatural! (And that's some job of straddling!) It's by the titanic team of Groovy Gary Friedrich who dreamed the whole issue up, and Madcap Mike Ploog, whose personal Werewolf by Night series is scheduled to acquire its extremely personal mag in a month or two!”
Daniel Very best, who originally broke the story of Gary's fight with Marvel, has an update separating fact from rumor.
