About the author

Doug Moench, is an American comic book writer notable for his Batman work and as the creator of Black Mask, Moon Knight and Deathlok. Moench has worked for DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics and many other smaller companies; he has written hundreds of issues of many different comics, and created dozens of characters, such as Moon Knight. In 1973, Moench became the de facto lead writer for the Marvel black-and-white magazine imprint Curtis Magazines. He contributed to the entire runs of Planet of the Apes, Rampaging Hulk (continuing on the title when it changed its name to The Hulk!) and Doc Savage, while also serving as a regular scribe for virtually every other Curtis title during the course of the imprint's existence. Moench is perhaps best known for his work on Batman, whose title he wrote from 1983–1986 and then again from 1992–1998. (He also wrote the companion title Detective Comics from 1983–1986.)

Moench is a frequent and longtime collaborator with comics artist Paul Gulacy. The pair are probably best known for their work on Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu, which they worked on together from 1974–1977. They also co-created Six from Sirius, Slash Maraud, and S.C.I. Spy, and have worked together on comics projects featuring Batman, Conan the Barbarian and James Bond.

Moench has frequently been paired with the artist and inker team of Kelley Jones and John Beatty on several Elseworlds Graphic Novels and a long run of the monthly Batman comic.

It’s fun to walk through the early days of Marvel toying with Moon Knight in occasional guest appearances across the second-tier titles: fighting alongside a werewolf, bumping into the soap-opera version of Spidey, taking a guest appearance in the Thing’s never-ending series of team-ups...

Unfortunately the weird “Hulk Magazine” issues haven’t been added to Marvel Unlimited so I’m missing out on all that cash-in-for-Hulk-on-70’s-TV goodness which must’ve been hellaciously schlocky to still be waiting their digitising turn.

Early Moon Knight strikes a weird balance between casually using the word schizophrenia and Marc Spector just happen to liking to show up to different scenes in different clothes and calling himself different names.

A little more than “secret identities” (pretty reminiscent of Batman playing Matchstick Malone, only Marc adds a third secret identity for extra fun & games), a little less than full blown dissociative personality disorder (Spector clearly has voluntary control over which identity he assumes at any given moment).

Once Moench and Sienkiewicz sink their teeth into Moon Knight, they concoct an origin story, a social examination of the poor street “bums” that inhabit all the dirty corners of Marvel’s NYC, and inhabit some pretty scuzzy characters all-round.

I’m sure everyone comes to this realisation sooner or later, but in this book it becomes crystal clear there’s an overtone of Batman in MK: millionaire, cape-and-cowl, extra secret identities...and likes to leave his handheld throwing weapon behind as a “calling” card at every crime scene.

So how did this progress to “nutso dude hears voices and can’t control who or where he is” (as I remember reading years ago when I stumbled onto Charlie Huston’s mid-2000s run)? Which writer pulled that trap door on the Moon Knight - and which editor gave the go-ahead to turn this character on its head for some real stakes?

Well, Moench & Sienkiewicz’ run on the 80’s Moon Knight standalone book certainly opens the gateway to this, even if it’s just a crack...

It’s not until issue 5 that we start to hear hints that Marc is maybe being influenced by Khonshu from beyond...maybe he is just a little bit crazy after having been resurrected by a god of vengeance...

Issue 5 is also the most experimental, telling a ghost story with flashbacks and unreliable narrators - worthy attempt, but the resolution crashes into the cliff wall in trying to tie it all together.

By issue 6 he’s fully talking about his other personas in the third person, attributing motives and decisions he’s made to “other”. It’s a deliberate shift that Moench takes - not actually acknowledging the backstory retcon, but just slowly easing the readers into a more interesting interpretation of Spector’s personalities.

By issue 9 his ostensible girlfriend is actively talking about his “schizophrenia”. By issue 10 he’s in full-on mental breakdown mode, only recovered when he find the statue of Khonshu wasn’t smashed after all. A little cliched, but what the hell - it’s quite a journey from “soldier of fortune” to “potential mental patient” this book took us on.

Amazing how reviews can disappear from the GR pages, so then again we try to solve this by rewriting a review that was written a year ago.

Moon Knight in this omnibus B/W collection starts of with the man being a baddie in a meeting with another series Werewolf by night and then gets some development. This first omnibus does not unlike the character development of the Moon Knight character leave you on more than one occasion flabbergasted. It is so clear that this superhero character was not yet thought out as well because he can be a Bruce Wayne like millionaire by day and super hero by night or is he a taxi driver or perhaps Mark Spector the mercenary.
While the stories tend to be enjoyable mostly there are some issues with the various directions creative teams want to take the character.
But nonetheless the art is decent and it passes the time reading these Essential Marvel collections even if they are in b/w they are quite decent fun for the low price they cost.

So onwards to the next two collections ( I get to say that as I have read and reviewed those too.)

I'm not sure they knew where they were going with Moon Knight in these first stories. Is he the reincarnation of the Moon God? Is he a hero? Or is he just mentally ill? Funny enough though, as rough a start as it is, I'm still interested in reading more. I'm hoping the series finds more direction as it continues.

[Amanja · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is okay.

Moon knight is not at all a fully realized character yet. Think it'll take a while for anyone to figure out what to do with his complicated identity and still under written skill set. But in the meantime I enjoy his many sidekicks. What an unusual group of crime fighters.

[Dave · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very solid collection of stories mainly by the team of Moench and Sienkiewicz featuring the hero with multiple secret identities: cabbie, mercenary and millionaire playboy.
From first appearance in Werewolf by Night #32 through his first series #10 we get a wide array of stories of the silver and jet ghost along with a colorful cast of his helpers and friends. I really enjoyed the last four issues presented in his first series issues #7 & #8 about a poisoned Chicago water supply turning people mad and #9 & #10 with the reappearance of foes Midnight Man and Bushman.

NOTE: this Essential series does not contain reprints of the original colours. It's all black and white, but that isn't a bad thing!

Prepare for your new favourite comic book superhero. Probably one of the best (largely-unknown) characters in Marvel's epic pantheon of comicbook heroes. "Crescent crusader", the "jet and silver wraith", "spectre of the moon", "moon's knight of vengeance" are just a few of the monikers he goes by. In 1975 Marvel introduced: Moon Knight. Making his surprise debut appearance in "Werewolf by Night" #32, Moon Knight was relatively unknown, mysterious and intriguingly clandestine.

Essential Moon Knight Volume 1 collects (in chronological order) Moon Knight's first stories from 1975-1981: his guest appearances in Werewolf by Night, Marvel Spotlight, Spiderman, Hulk! then moving into his own series in 1980. I've never really searched for some of the older comicbook characters who are less well-known than the largely popular ones, so upon reading and quickly turning the pages of this volume, I was genuinely surprised by the artwork, the range of stories and by the titular hero himself. Think Batman, meets a soldier of fortune with multiple identities.

Behind the crescent white cowl, Moon Knight is: Marc Spector (ex-CIA mercenary), Steven Grant (eccentric millionaire), Jake Lockley (humble New York taxi driver). It's clever character-writing having multiple identities - rather than a singular identity by way of Batman/Bruce Wayne. Marc Spector is who this character originally is, but becomes a point of contention for him in later issues. The differing social stratas that Spector operates within offers an accessible way to get intel into the crimes going on within the city. I really liked how he navigates and switches between the identities and uses his likeable personalities for different purposes.

Even though the Essential collection is in black and white, I felt as though this added a bit more depth to the stories, but I would be interested in reading the issues in colour at some point. The artwork and writing are really wonderful. The stories have a real variety to them that makes you want to keep reading, even when some of the stories take place outside of New York. Admittedly some of the villains that Moon Knight faces off against are a bit outlandish - such as Lupinar, Cyclone, Crossfire, Conquer Lord - but the stories and situations he finds himself in are a great read when it comes to the final pages. Moon Knight's adventures also have a good sense of humour when it comes to his interactions to other characters.

I didn't realise that there were a great many stories of this calibre - outside of the more revered staples of the comicbook/graphic novel genre such as The Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen, The Killing Joke - and because they were written in the 70's, some of them have a real sense of adult-like grit and themes to them. Lost faith in the government, loss of faith in one's work in being an government operative. It grounds Marc Spector in a very similar way to Batman, but with a more tortured soul. He isn't avenging the death of loved ones, he's actually on a more personal journey to make up for the wrong he's done throughout his life an using the money he's accumulated to keep the mean streets of New York safe. In comparison to Batman, he's able to take a more objective approach to his crime-fighting. Although as a character point it might seem a bit more selfish, but his adventures are still a great read.

I've mentioned a few comparisons to Batman and given Marc Spector's alter ego as millionaire, there are valid similarities; he uses crescent shaped throwing shurikens, a mansion that doubles as a base of operations with his own butler. You might even criticise that Moon Knight is nothing but a half-moon copy of DC's Batman. But Moon Knight is a great character in his own right, with some of the later issues delving into his backstory and time as a CIA operative and him turning his back on the questionable life he led as Marc Spector. I think Marvel and the writers have really created a wonderful superhero in Moon Knight.

If there's ever a live-action adaptation, I could easily see Marc Spector's cabbie Jake Lockley giving a lift to Netflix's Daredevil/Matt Murdock, or even bumping into Tony Stark at a millionaire's convention as Steven Grant, or even going up against Frank Castle as soldier of fortune Marc Spector. Whichever he might get introduced, Moon Knight (if done right) would make a great addition to the Marvel cinematic/television universe and this Essential series is an entertaining and fun read.

[Quentin Wallace · Rating 5 out of 5]

Moon Knight has been described as Marvel's Batman, and there's some truth in that but the characters have some differences too. These early stories are interesting but as some readers have pointed out the character was still undeveloped. I like the fact this is almost a horror/super hero comic as many of the stories have some dark horror themes. The art at times resembles Neal Adams and since Adams is one of my favorite artists I enjoyed it even though it was derivative. Sienkiewicz developed a different style later, but this Neal Adams type art was another reason people compared the series to Batman.

Overall I thought this was a strong volume and many of the stories were very original as there wasn't a whole lot like this on the stands. (Well, maybe other than Batman?) I also was surprised to see Moon Knight already having split personality mental issues. I didn't realize they went that far back. The most recent Moon Knight series was an existential type book focusing on the split personalities. I didn't like that series, but I do see now just how far back the roots of that series go.

If you think this is something you'll enjoy, you probably will as the series does deliver what's promised.

[Jason · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's kind of funny...you can tell that in his first few appearances, they had no idea what to do with Moon Knight. He was a bad guy...then he's a good guy. He has werewolf-powers, or maybe they were granted by Konshu. Doug Moench does a great job of finally reconciling these things in a way that makes some sort of sense.

And Bill Sienkiewicz is one of my favorite artists, though they don't let him go too crazy thoughout most of this volume. Still, it's good stuff all around.

[Drew Canole · Rating 1 out of 5]

Couldn't get into this series at all. I've owned it for years as individual comics and finally made an attempt but couldn't get past the first few issues.

[Zack! Empire · Rating 3 out of 5]

I must admit I didn’t read much of this collection, though I was never really planning on reading it cover to cover. I mostly got it because I was interested in seeing the Bill Sienkiewicz artwork. I find his art really interesting and I’m always excited to look at an artist now and look at some of their earliest stuff to see how much they have grown. One thing I really notice with this book is how much of a difference an inker can make. When Bill is inking himself his work is scratchy and loose, but when someone else inks him they fill in all the black areas. It’s interesting to see that contrast and the different line of thinking between Artist.

[Jaye Berry]

I was only reading the 1980 run but goodreads doesn't have that run separately so it's either the 1000 page one or the 500 page one because they have tons of other comics. This has Moon Knight 1-10 which... also I didn't finish. I've spent too long trying to read this and the points don't matter anyway so I'm adding it tho.

It was kind of interesting to see how Moon Knight started but also things were so different and I actually don't like old comics. I read up to 7 but I just couldn't do it anymore. It was all so weird, seriously. For some reason they kept misspelling Marc and Steven and then Steven and Jake aren't even alters? They are just personalities and he puts their clothes on and tells people to call him by the name depending on the situation. Walks into his big ass mansion? Call me Steven. Puts on a hat and jumps in a taxi? Jake is here. We don't actually see Marc at all which is also weird but alright.

I don't know what they were going for and what they were doing with this character but I don't think they knew then at the time either.

Oh man, the material reprinted from the Hulk Magazine is impossible to read. Good stories, but I had to take a star off because no one bothered to color correct for b&w printing on those.

[☠︎︎ A.K. ☠︎︎ · Rating 2 out of 5]

Essential Moon Knight, Volume One is unfortunately… not essential. Yes, when it comes to the introduction of Moon Knight/Marc Spector, issues in this volume are undeniably essential, however, so many of the stories found within these pages felt incomplete, underdeveloped, or simply lacking in information. I can’t say whether this is due to poor writing or if it’s due to story arcs being absent from the book, but Essential Moon Knight always felt as if there was something missing.

Aside from this feeling of missing information, this volume also suffers from continued lulls in the storyline. The book initially starts with a number of engaging stories, but a few issues in, the journeys of Moon Knight begin to fall flat. By the final third of the book, the plots begin to pick up again, but unfortunately, other weaknesses keep the stories bogged down. And what bogs these stories down is weak characterizations across the board.

The concept of Marc Spector is interesting in theory - Spector is an ex-soldier who may or may not have been given moon-based powers in a near death experience. This event led Spector to take up a life of fighting crime, however, it also tapped into his traumas and caused him to lapse back into Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Or so we’re told.

Although the writers want us to believe that Spector has some kind of disorder, not once in this story did I see any legitimate clues of it. Sure, he takes up different personalities, but this always happens out of convenience, and he never seems to truly struggle with these varying identities. These stories try so hard to tell us that Marc is complex, but never once does he truly read that way. It’s unfortunate, because he could be a great character - perhaps this is improved in later series, but as Spector is in his first solo series, he’s nothing more than an incredibly basic Batman knockoff.

Spector isn’t the only one that suffers weak characterization - nearly everyone in this series is boring. All of Moon Knight’s associates are bland, and none of them feel essential to his story, but rather it feels as if the writers are fighting to keep these characters relevant. And don’t even ask about Moon Knight’s adversaries - none of them were even memorable enough to write about.

It’s unfortunate that this series is so lackluster, as all the possibilities for greatness can be seen right there on the page. Spector has potential as a leading man, the ensemble has potential to each have their own interesting stories, and the plots point at the possibility of being engaging, and yet, nothing in this series is given the room to grow. Hopefully, Essential Moon Knight, Volume Two, will show a progression for Marc Spector that befits the type of character he’s capable of becoming.

[Jonathan Barnett · Rating 4 out of 5]

The origins of Marvel Comic’s Moon Knight are told, re-told, ret-conned and builds up into his own series.

This is by and large a fun collection of early appearances, shorts stories, and ones shots. If one is fascinated to see how a character can change in a short amount of time, then this is a good volume to read and gaze. The exploits include special appearances with Werewolf by Night, Spider-Man, The Thing, and The Hulk (from a Black and White magazine). Almost all of the issues are written by Doug Moench. The earliest stores are drawn by co-creator Don Perlin. While the back up short stories and direct to market series was the work of Bill Sienkiewicz. Missing, are his appearances from “Marvel Team-Up” and “The Defenders”.

While often thought of as an ersatz-Bat-Man, and understandably so, but he’s really not. Reading the stories one gets the sense that this more along the lines of Marvel’s (or Doug Moench, anyways) “exquisite corpse” makeover of The Shadow, The Saint, Judex or the Fredric Forsyth’s The Jackal. Like those characters, Marc Spector, apparently his “real name” has several aliases. So many that he even gets confused himself and doesn’t always know how to refer to himself. In makes his multiple origins stories all the more fascinating. Not only is he Moon Knight be he is also a millionaire Steve Grant, a mercenary names Marc Spector, and a taxi cab driver. Also like The Shadow and the Saint, he has several operatives in “the field” who help him obtain his information and resources. His operatives include his girlfriend, Marlene, a homeless man, a waitress and her sons working at a diner and a French helicopter pilot.

The tone is consistent with its 1960-70s Men’s Adventure attitude and some cheeky humor. The genera that the series appropriates seem to ping pong back and forth between, noir, horror, art thievery, street crime, political espionage, science fiction, archaeology and mystery. With the Essentials being a monochrome, this almost comes off as Marvel’s version of a German “krimi” thriller. Perhaps the best issues pertain to “The Hulk” magazine. In those issues we are dealing a serial killer, a crime syndicate and mind control. Also in those issues artist Sienkiewicz ‘s art bears some resemblance to that of Neal Adams, a former mentor. Later, Sienkiewicz would just go wild with his pen and ink renderings of “The New Mutants”. Again, it’s a “marvel” to see how he would progress over the years.

This is a really good introduction to a character that Marvel does not always know what to do with. Yet, the character has had some good story arcs; you’ll find those, here.

OK, it was probably not really ever going to be my thing. I don't remember why I even had the old MK phonebook laying around, it must have been on sale and I was intrigued by his WWBN origins and the luscious Bill S art. Well, the art is damn good. The writing starts as pretty basic bronze age melodrama stuff and then plunges down into boring Batman pastiche before Moench hits more of a stride and starts playing with the personalities and the ideas of Khonshu in the 5-10 issues of MK Vol 1. That art. Reading early Bill S is like a tribute to the recently passed Neal Adams (RIP), with glimmers (I thought) of BWS and maybe even a little Chaykin (who was a contemporary, duh.) Gorgeous stuff. At times I wished I had a better reproduction, but then I realized that this probably looks best in black and white.

[Jordan Risebury-Crisp · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great trawl through the early days of Moon Knight. From guest-star to mysterious, schizophrenic leading protagonist, Moon Knight, Marc Spector, Steven Grant and Jake Lockly are an interesting character to step out from Marvel's late 70s horror genre.

The majority of stories work really well here in the black and white format and it was great to see Sienkiewicz's talent develop over months as the series progresses.

A good introduction to the character and a must read for anyone who enjoys Moon Knight today.

[Robert Dennis · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume collects the early appearances of the Moon Knight, from his appearance as a villain-of-the month in Werewolf by Night #32-33, to his first solo appearances in Marvel Spotlight and Rampaging Hulk magazine to his own series. Reading this collection shows the extreme growth the character made under the eye of writer Doug Moench and later artist Bill Sienkiewicz, taking him from a white cowled Batman rip-off to his own identity. One of my favorite characters as a kid, this book is a perfect introduction to the character who is soon due to get his own Disney series! Enjoy!

[Rexhurne · Rating 2 out of 5]

I liked his origin story were he was a mercenary and got power from an Egyptianlike god (the one in his own title not the ones at the start that kept changing). That however, was the only interesting part. The rest felt a bunch of knockoff, less interesting Batman stories of the same era. It doesn't surprise me that this writer went to the Batman title a couple of years later, they're really similar.

[Hana · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's cool to see the early renditions of Moon Knight in his early guest appearances and one offs, and how much he's evolved in his more recent solo runs. It makes me appreciate the current Moon Knight characterization even more.

With that being said though, this volume was a drag for me to get through. Kind of felt like a bunch of half baked shower thoughts that they threw against the wall to see what stuck. Probably won't read the second volume, but will read more recent runs of Moon Knight

[Fil · Rating 4 out of 5]

A blatant Batman rip-- I mean homage. I read these as comics and in the larger magazine format years ago and enjoyed them again now. The Marvel Essential series gives you access to a lot of hard to find or expensive comics in each volume. I grumble from time to time about them being printed in black and white, but in Moon Knight, it fits with the character and the duotone overlays in the artwork.

[Kaiulani · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very interesting to see the evolution of Moon Knight’s origin. Some definite wandering at first but, the 10 issues of the debut series reconcile most of the loose ends and the Sienkiewicz art is fantastic.

Interesting character, multiple identities and it starts really delving into that halfway through the main series. A little dated.

[Jason Luna · Rating 1 out of 5]

There are two parts to this book: Moon Knight as a newly originated superhero, making guest spots in other people's magazines (decent), and Moon Knight's solo adventures (total crap)

Even the crossovers with regular superheroes aren't that great. It's like Spider-Man is on the trail of Cyclone and the Maggia, or The Thing is on the trail of Crossfire, and Moon Knight also wants to show up and punch people. His action aesthetic is minimal (floats around and punches people).

Probably the best part of his early days is his multi-part origin in "Werewolf By Night", where he is hired by the evil "Committee" to capture the Werewolf.

But, as part of my argument that his eventual own magazine is crap, they go to great lengths to retcon the WWBN thing to fit his own convoluted back story.

It'd be one thing if they took the eccentricities and built stories upon them, made them integral to who he was. But what happens is that his girlfriend, Marlene says things like "it's like he's szhizophrenic, using those different personalities", but it's not like anyone cares. THe personalities are kind of lame, but he at times impersonates a bounty hunter, an informant cab driver, and a millionaire. It basically allows him to do what most heroes do all at once, but in this case, you have to introduce them by name EVERY TIME, so dull.

The stories are drab crime thrillers. Oh sure, they have excitement in their premises, like "there's a serial killer on the loose, and the Moon Knight has to catch them", or "Chicago is under a mass drugging, stop it, Moon Knight", but it gets boring. Repetition is one thing. Each story is telegraphed: Moon Knight faces initial adversity, someone close to him may die, overcome adversity, happily ever after. If it's supposed to be any deeper than that, starting all over at the beginning of each issue like everything is happy is dumb. It's hard to believe that Moon Knight has personal issues if everyone briefly forgets about them.

And the "story developments" are so dumb and irrelevant, just more opportunities for Doug Moench to write dense description/dialogue. Like, Moon Knight didn't get his powers from a werewolf, it was from an Egyptian statue. Sill the same hero. Or he recruits his friends, an informant bum an informant diner waitress, into paid people on his staff. The stories still operate the same.

All in all, it seems like an uncomfortable mix of superheroes and spy material or maybe a NY cop show. In this case, you'd be better off finding your likes in the seperate genres, not this lazy mix.

While I do have most (if not all) of the Sienkiewicz issues I did actually purchase this trade (I’m not big on collected editions of comics) for the sole reason to see the work in black and white (much preferred).
Aside from the first 10 issues of MK, which is great to see Sienkiewicz really coming into his own (most notably on the covers and issues 3, 9 and 10, where is he inking himself), it’s vaguely amusing to see some of the early stories (in Hulk Magazine, etc).

All in all the stories are nothing special, but Sienkiewicz became a favourite for me with his New Mutants run, so I remember tracking these issues down back then.

[Todd · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a tough book to judge.

One of the reviews here complains that every issue resets everything to a happily-ever-after vibe that then has to be destroyed by the emergency in the next issue, and that's true of course but that's really a side-effect of the Comic Code Authority and it's extremely rigid requirements. It's hard to hold mandates against an individual writer.

The art is really impressive, especially for being without color.

It's pretty crazy reading these early issues and trying to nail down what the writer thought of Moon Knight's psyche.

Great Marvel Readthrough, pt 57

I tried.
I really did.
But I just couldn't stick with this one.

Weird, choppy writing; triple identities; no basic plot to be found.
But then again, I only made it through the first 3-4 issues found within. It may have started to get better further in, but I just didn't have the patience to make it that far.
