The Ghost Rider of WWII teams up with Wolverine, Nick Fury, Bucky Barnes, and more to take on demonic Nazis in Hellhunters

Spinning out of the pages of Incredible Hulk, another Ghost Rider variant is taking center stage as Marvel announces Hellhunters, a five issue limited series telling the origin story of Ghost Rider ’44. 

Hellhunters flashes back to World War II to tell the story of Sgt. Sal Romero, who becomes a Spirit of Vengeance to help his squad, the eponymous Hellhunters, take on a Nazie who has become possessed by demonic forces.

Written by Ghost Rider ’44’s co-creator Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Hellhunters is drawn by artist Adam Gorham, and will bring in WWII-era guest stars such as Wolverine, Nick Fury, Peggy Carter, Bucky Barnes, and even 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,” reads Marvel’s official description of Hellhunters #1. “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!”
