Ghost Rider Chronology: 1980-1986

This section of the chronology takes us through Johnny Blaze's arrival at the Quentin Carnival and the end of his solo series, which saw him freed from the (newly-named) demon Zarathos.  Outside of a few random appearances in the mid-80s, Ghost Rider will remain a dormant character until the series' relaunch in 1990.
