Rider Tapestries
Description: The first supernatural Ghost Rider is stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze, who, in order to save the life of his father, agreed to give his soul to "Satan" (later revealed to be an arch-demon named Mephisto). At night and when around evil, Blaze finds his flesh consumed by hellfire, causing his head to become a flaming skull. He rides a fiery motorcycle and wields blasts of hellfire from his body, usually from his skeletal hands. He eventually learns he has been bonded with the demon Zarathos. Blaze was featured in the Ghost Rider series from 1972 to 1983.
Description: St. Georgios and the Wyrm. Inspired by the small joke poem by the medieval orthodox monks and beautiful ancient Orthodox Art of Lettering. The inscription starts at the top left. Verbatim translation: " Saint Georgios in fight, On a dashing sits steed, Holds in hand the spear, Pokes the Wyrm in the ass." My understanding of this medieval verse - is that sometimes flogging is worse than killing. Shame is worse than death. "Make the scary funny, and it stops being scary."
Description: Knight Rider is an American action crime drama television series created and produced by Glen A. Larson. The series was originally broadcast on NBC from 1982 to 1986.

This was the last series Larson devised at Universal Television before he moved to 20th Century Fox Television.
Description: "Knight Rider, a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist. Michael Knight, a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless in a world of criminals who operate above the law." That was the narration that opened the 1982 TV drama, Knight Rider. While that gives a pretty good general overview, a more detailed synopsis goes something like this: Reborn, so to speak, after getting shot in the face, Knight dedicates his life to fighting for justice. Billionaire Wilton Knight hires Michael to be the lead field agent in his Knight Foundation's public justice organization, part of which includes the development of KITT, a superpowered, intelligent souped-up Pontiac Trans-Am.
