Ghost Rider #28 (1992)

In Brooklyn, Ghost Rider attacks two street thugs for the murder of an elderly woman. He lashes at them with his chains and prepares to cut them down when Johnny Blaze appears and levels a Hellfire shotgun at Ghost Rider's head. He warns the Rider that he is jeopardizing more lives than he’s actually saving. Ghost Rider relaxes slightly but still knocks the thugs out cold. He brings them back to the mausoleum at Cypress Hills Cemetery and seals them inside. While Johnny continues to condemn the Ghost Rider's actions, an unkempt man arrives riding astride an antique motorcycle. He introduces himself only as the Caretaker and appears to possess intimate knowledge of the Ghost Rider and Blaze’s relationship to him. At the Ketch household, Francis Ketch is hysterical with grief over the loss of her son, Daniel. Officer Stacy Dolan assures her that she will do everything she can to find her son. Her father is present, but prepares to leave, citing that Michael Badalino and his S.W.A.T. team have the Ghost Rider cornered. Back in the cemetery, Badalino's team arrives and Johnny and the Caretaker duck for cover. The Ghost Rider, however, retreats back inside the mausoleum. He finds that all of the people he imprisoned there are now dead – all save Blackout and the immortal Mister Stern. Blackout bites Ghost Rider, who suddenly recoils in pain. The villains then rush out into the night where they encounter Badalino’s men who open fire upon them. They charge past them and escape. Ghost Rider meanwhile, while reeling on the floor, experiences a psychic connection with Dan Ketch. Dan's spirit is dying, but before he can enter the light of Heaven, he is pulled into the presence of Lilith, who shows him a vision of the future. Ghost Rider also perceives this same vision. Danny's sporit breaks from from Lilith's grasp and flees back into the darkness. After remaining insensate while Blaze and Caretaker got him out of the mausoleum, Ghost Rider wakes up and begins shouting out the names of Lilith and three of her demonic brood, the Lilin. He knows that Lilith is coming and that she must be stopped. He tells Johnny and the Caretaker them about his experience. The Caretaker gives Johnny his motorcycle, and the two "Spirits of Vengeance" set out to stop Lilith and her Children. Once they're gone, the Caretaker exchanges some words with Doctor Strange about whether or not the two bikers are up to the challenge of Lilith's return.
