American Update: Moon Knight’s First Solo Story, in Marvel Spotlight #28 & #29
*Marvel: No, sorry, we’re out of cutesy-poo ‘Moonlight/Moon Knight’ puns for now, so you’ll have to take it straight. From a passing appearance as an antagonist in Werewolf By Night, the character of Moon Knight, a.k.a. Marc Spector, eccentric billionaire, compulsive role-player and nocturnal crimefighter (Hmm… where’ve we heard that description before?) wormed his way rapidly into the readers’ hearts, and the clamour triggered his first solo foray, a two-parter in Marvel Spotlight #28 & #29, by his WBN co-creators Doug Moench and Don Perlin. No, it’s every bit as good as you’d expect. No, really. Given the mentions dropped in the Marvel cinematic universe of a ‘Marc Spector’, speculation is rife that a Moon Knight media debut is imminent, and the prices of these issues have lately risen to reflect that; issue #28 is NM, sharp & bright with firm tight staples and white pages, on sale at £125; #29, the conclusion of the two-parter, is VF/NM, a relatively sedate £22.50. Both cents copies, with no UK price markings.
