An oddity in the issue of Smoky Dawson in this issue is the villain, the Bat. This character look like a British supernatural superhero of the same name. This seems unlikely to be a coincidence. The Bat was created by George McQueen, but at least one story appears to be (clears throat) "adapted" from a Ghost Rider story by Dick Ayers (from Magazine Enterprises Ghost Rider #12), with the same dialogue and layouts very similar to the original. In this story, the Bat takes on Satan (just like Ghost Rider did!). I don’t know how this unofficial crossover occurred, or if the British creator of the Bat even knew about it. (Sadly, there are no Bat comics available on Comic Book Plus.)
