*Horror/Mystery 1960-1980s: Now at a reduced price! One of the most startling success stories in the back issue world is the ever-spiralling popularity of Moon Knight’s premier appearance. The series Werewolf By Night had been toddling along, chronicling the adventures of young lycanthrope Jack Russell (no, really), when the boat was suddenly rocked in WBN #32 by a vigilante whose only goal seemed to be the annihilation of our hero – and his silver armour and weapons seemed likely to achieve it! The man who would later be revealed as Marc Spector had a deeper back story, of course, and in his multitudinous appearances since, has developed a complex background oscillating between ‘Marvel’s Batman’ and ‘Multiple Personality psychotic possessed by Egyptian Gods’. Be that as it may, he remains hugely popular. This is a decent if damaged pence-printed copy. It has great cover colour and gloss, supple off-white pages and excellent staples, firm at spine and centrefold. There is some corner blunting and spine wear, with colour-breaking ticks. The big drawback is a tiny white scuff mark near the right edge, removing colour from a tiny area just below Moon Knight’s left fist (visible on scan), which brings the grade down to that stated.
