Cavaleiro da Lua
The Brazilian Portuguese name for Marvel's Moon Knight — Marc Spector, a former mercenary who was resurrected by the Egyptian moon god Khonshu and became his avatar on Earth, using his considerable combat skills and resources to fight crime as a nocturnal vigilante.
Debuting in the pages of Superaventuras Marvel #53 in 1986, Cavaleiro da Lua is a Copper Age presence in the Brazilian Marvel universe published by Editora Abril, where a remarkable creative team — Roger Slifer, Jotapê Martins, Ron Wilson, and Pablo Marcos — brought the character to life. Spanning an impressive 26 years across Superaventuras Marvel, Marvel Série I, and Marvel Série II, this is a figure with genuine staying power in the Brazilian comics landscape. The company here is nothing short of stellar — sharing pages with the likes of Demolidor, Homem de Ferro, and Colossus signals that Cavaleiro da Lua moves in the highest circles of Marvel Brasil's heroic world. A fascinating piece of Editora Abril history for any collector with a passion for the rich, distinct flavor of Brazilian Marvel publishing.
