This exciting battle page from Werewolf by Night #32 comes from the first issue of the two-part epic that introduced Moon Knight for the very first time. Moon Knight got his start as a silver-clad antagonist of the Werewolf, but reader response was so strong that he was awarded his own try-out run in Marvel Spotlight. Moon Knight is one of a number of significant Marvel heroes who got his start as a "bad guy", placing him the the same company as important characters like the Punisher and Blade. This is not only a dynamic 1970s Marvel action page, but the earliest and most compelling Moon Knight art that we have ever seen offered for sale. With only the cover of this issue and the splash page proceeding it, this will always remain one of the very first looks that readers ever got of the character.
Moon Knight appeared with the Defenders in 1977 and later served as the back-up feature in the Hulk Magazine. Moon Knight was finally awarded his own series in 1980 and he remains a popular character with a devoted following to this day. The chance to acquire one of the earliest pages from the very first appearance of a popular hero is extremely unusual. This art has an image area of approximately 10" x 15".
