After glancing at the Daniel Ketch (Earth-616) article, I saw it needed references, but in checking the issues I quickly realised that the volumes listed for the Ghost Rider comic books are messed up.


 * These were published as Ghost Rider Vol. 1
 * These were published as Ghost Rider Vol. 2
 * and this is an unrelated character with the same name, which is presumably why there is a volume mismatch mess in the first place.

Right now I have a comic book open in front of me, and inside the front cover it states, GHOST RIDER® Vol. 2, No. 7, November, 1990 which can be found on the Marvel Database as Ghost Rider Vol 3 7.

Personally, I don't think living with the one-volume offset is an ideal practice. Partly because it is bound to attract mistakes, but also because every reference provided is actually publishing information that is technically wrong. Beyond that, it's just not intuitive for searches.
