American Update: ‘Well Met By Moon Knight…’ 1st and Second Appearances of Moon Knight in Werewolf By Night
*Horror/Mystery 1960-1980s: The horror series Werewolf By Night had been toddling along happily for a while, chronicling the adventures of young lycanthrope Jack Russell (stop sniggering at the back there…) and his wacky transformations, when the boat was suddenly rocked in WBN #32 by a silver-clad vigilante whose only goal seemed to be the annihilation of our hero – and his armoured form, silver being deadly to werewolves, seemed likely to achieve it! The man who would later be revealed as Marc Spector had a much deeper back story, of course, and in his multitudinous appearances since these issues, has developed a complex background oscillating between ‘Marvel’s Batman’ and ‘Multiple-Personality psychotic inhabited by Egyptian Gods’. Be that as it may, he remains hugely popular, and while this copy of WBN #32 is only VG- p, showing marked corner creasing and spine wear, it’s still priced at £100. (Have you seen the prices slabbed copies are achieving?) Moon Knight’s second appearance in #33, VG p, is a more achievable £15. SORRY, #32 NOW SOLD
