Page 2 and nobody's mentioned Ghost Rider?! Marvel not only appropriated the trademark name from its previous publisher, but the visual representation and central gimmick: a Western hero pretending to be a supernatural being. They even used the artist most associated with the original, Dick Ayers (which may be why Marvel's version hewed so closely, with Ayers plotting and drawing a favorite of his previous comics features. Ahem.......... Page 1..............." Ghost Rider was originally a Magazine Enterprises western hero, drawn by Dick Ayers. Marvel picked up the trademark on the character and produced their own Ghost Rider western comics. Then, they introduced the Johnny Blaze version and rechristened the western hero Night Rider, with reprints of the previous stories."
