Marc Spector: Moon Knight #2

Issue two of this 1989 Marc Spector series wastes no time establishing its gritty, action-packed tone. The cover by Sal Velluto and inker Kevin Nowlan plunges viewers into a nighttime forest brawl, where a white-cloaked Moon Knight squares off against fierce, elaborately adorned tribal warriors — one of them looming large in the foreground with a crescent blade — while Spider-Man swings dramatically into the fray on a web line above them. With the story titled "Hunter's Moon" and a prominently badged "Guest Cameo by Spider-Man," this issue makes a compelling case that Marc Spector's corner of the Marvel universe is every bit as thrilling as the big-team books.
