Red Mask was a spin off of Tim Holt, a comic book based on the B-movies of sometimes A-star Tim Holt. Tim Holt and Red Mask are remembered today for introducing Dick Ayers' Ghost Rider, but Frank Bolle, the artist behind Holt's adventures had quite a resume himself.

Flag Day

Apparently they had scams before email

Another Adventure of the original Ghost Rider
