During that time, Fleisher also collaborated with Steve Ditko on Shade the Changing Man, an offbeat hero bearing a reality-altering M-Vest. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJim Shooter entered the comic-book field at age 14 as writer and penciler of the \"Legion of Super-Heroes\" feature in Adventure Comics. Later moving to Marvel, he wrote Daredevil, Ghost Rider, Marvel Team-Up, Marvel Two-in-One and other titles. As editor in chief, he tightened Marvel's publishing schedule; added new titles; nurtured fresh talent; launched the New Universe; and wrote the 12-issue Secret Wars and its sequel, Secret Wars II.

After serving in the Army, Perlin returned to comics with Harvey in the late '50s as well as Charlton in the '60s. In 1973, he began his long association with Marvel, finishing John Buscema's art on Thor and inking several titles. He took over Werewolf by Night from Mike Ploog, penciling and inking the book for much of the next two years. He also penciled and inked the supernatural adventures of Johnny Blaze in Ghost Rider, his name becoming very closely identified with Marvel's monster biker. In the '80s, he drew Defenders for a long run before turning his attention to Marvel's adaptation of Hasbro's Transformers. His early '90s work on Valiant's Solar, Man of the Atom and Bloodshot was extremely popular, after which Perlin went into semiretirement.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 440\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 10.1 x 6.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 20, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68066131411055,"sku":"9781302967451","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5840\/4719\/files\/PirSwoDMhr9781302967451.webp?v=1793307392","url":"https:\/\/www.sidekickcomicbooks.com\/products\/ghost-rider-epic-collection-to-slay-a-demon-paperback","provider":"Sidekick Comic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
