“Ghost Story”

Set against a moonlit graveyard where Moon Knight's own tombstone looms in the background, this March 1981 issue presents a genuinely unsettling confrontation between the white-clad hero and a blazing, skeletal figure that seems pulled straight from a nightmare. The cover tagline — "There are some things you can't fight..." — perfectly frames the supernatural dread of a story titled "Ghost Story," suggesting Moon Knight may be facing something beyond the reach of crescent darts and fists. Bill Sienkiewicz's cover art crackles with atmosphere, blending eerie flame-lit shadows with graveyard imagery in a way that makes this one of Marvel's more hauntingly effective covers of 1981.
