Dermont Walshe.

One of our favorite comic artists Dermont Walshe has just dropped us a note pointing us to the direct on his blog Zoomfrog. These two idyllic pictures show Walshe's comic (and possibly animated) project based on the the first year of the TT-we can't wait.

Ghost Rider is the name of several fictional supernatural antiheroes appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Marvel had previously used the name for a Western character whose name was later changed to Night Rider and subsequently to Phantom Rider.

The first supernatural Ghost Rider is stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze, who, in order to save the life of his mentor, agreed to give his soul to "Satan" (later revealed to be an arch-demon named Mephisto). Instead, his soul bonded with the entity called Zarathos. When utilizing Zarathos' powers Blaze's flesh is consumed by hellfire, causing his head to become a flaming skull. He rides a fiery motorcycle and wields trademark blasts of hellfire from his skeletal hands. He starred in the series from 1972-1983.

Sweet little Sportster scrambler..


"As a youngster I remember my brother and I playing with Matchbox toys. It wasn't until years later my Mother told me of the rushing around the shops that her and Dad went through to buy them for us. As I grew older and moved on to other interests I had no idea what happened to the toys of my childhood. Then, a few years ago, on a visit to my parent's house my Mother asked what I was going to do with that box of toys in the cupboard." Via:
