MOON KNIGHT COMIC BOOKS, GRAPHIC NOVELS, STATUES, BUSTS, TRADE PAPERBACKS SHOP FOR MOON KNIGHT COMIC BOOKS When it comes to super-heroes, the focal character is usually endowed with supernatural powers of one kind or another. The fact that Moon Knight possessed only his native intelligence and perception, as well as his physical skills and training as a mercenary, led to the sometimes disparaging nickname of "the poor man's Batman". But there is a vast difference in their characters. For one, the Moon Knight comic books' hero has not one, but three alter egos: Mark Spector, Jake Lockley, and Steven Grant, each of which has very unique personalities, habits, and modes of thinking. While it's certainly one way to give more depth to the character of Moon Knight, it also adds a note of mystery, since it seems there is never any proof that all his personas know about the others. Add to that, the fact that they are all forceful and demanding characters, and you literally have a whole team of super-heroes in one man. Moon Knight comics were spawned from the birth of this relatively new entry in the Marvel line of creative works, way back in 1975. In a move similar to the introduction of other stars, Moon Knight appeared in supporting roles within other lines, including The Hulk. Eventually, Marvel produced three full series of Moon Knight comic books, as well as a number of mini-series. In the early 1980s, Marvel Comics dabbled in the somewhat new market for direct sales to specialty outlets, and took three of their titles: Ka-Zar, The Micronauts and Moon Knight, and stepped outside the Comics Authority Code by ramping up their adult material, and selling them by subscription and specialty stores. The Moon Knight character was killed off in 1994, but enjoyed a revival in 2006 with more attention to the facets of his various characters.
