Discover Ghost Rider '44’s Origins in 'Hellhunters'

Following his debut in the current Incredible Hulk run, Marvel will explore the origins of Ghost Rider ‘44 in the new miniseries Hellhunters. The five-issue series is written by Incredible Hulk writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and features art by Adam Gorham. Hellhunters #1 hits shelves 12/15.

"Ghost Rider '44 is definitely my favorite guest star that's appeared in our INCREDIBLE HULK series so far,” Kennedy Johnson explained. “I had a fully-realized origin story for Sergeant Sal Romero in my head before my partner Nic Klein brought him to life with his art, and the character turned out so unbelievably cool and fun, we knew the ‘War Devil’ arc wouldn't be his last appearance."

In the present day, Ghost Rider '44 can only reawaken "when the monsters come." During WWII, there were plenty of them—including Felix Bruckner, a Nazi officer who underwent a mysterious transformation of his own. When Bruckner's demonic army begins its march, Sal will be forced to embrace his supernatural new gifts to turn the tide of the entire war.

Some of Marvel's most badass heroes fought on the frontlines of World War II and HELLHUNTERS will see Ghost Rider '44's battle alongside the likes of Wolverine, Nick Fury, Peggy Carter, Bucky Barnes, and, from the pages of Jason Aaron's Avengers, Soldier Supreme. 
 
1944: As U.S. Sergeant Sal Romero is parachuting into Nazi-occupied Europe, young Nazi officer Felix Bruckner becomes the host for an unspeakable evil. In the aftermath of their violent meeting, Romero is reborn as Ghost Rider '44, who sets out not only to take revenge on Bruckner and the Nazis, but to save mankind from annihilation!
