Moon Knight #5

The Fist of Khonshu faces a punishing mid-air challenge on this November 1985 entry in Marvel's Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu series — the cover by Chris Warner shows a blue-clad ninja delivering a flying kick that sends Moon Knight sprawling across a rooftop ledge, the full moon rising dramatically over a city skyline below. Warner's linework captures both combatants in mid-motion with real kinetic energy, Moon Knight's white-and-gold costume a sharp contrast against his dark-garbed attacker. With "Debts and Balances" as the story title, this issue promises a reckoning that looks to be anything but easy for Khonshu's champion.
