Moon Knight #1

Marvel's premiere issue of Moon Knight's own series arrives in 1980 with a cover by Bill Sienkiewicz that immediately establishes the character's striking duality — the white-costumed, red-eyed Moon Knight looms large above a quartet of figures below, each representing a different face of the man beneath the mask: a scrappy cab driver, a bare-chested mercenary gripping a staff, a suave tuxedoed socialite, and an elegant blonde woman at his side. The tagline "They Become One… To Do What They Must!" perfectly frames the layered identity at the heart of this series, making clear that Moon Knight is something genuinely different in the Marvel universe. Doug Moench and Sienkiewicz launch "The Macabre Moon Knight!" with a visual confidence that sets a compelling tone from page one.
