Description

Bill Sienkiewicz's Moon Knight #15 page 19. This 1982 Sienkiewicz's page features Moon Knight battling the rat-like villain known as Xenos. We also get to see Moon Knight in his Steven Grant persona with his girlfriend, Marlene. It's a nice example from the period where Sienkiewicz was still heavily influenced by Neal Adams, which is especially evident in his depiction of Grant and Marlene.

Moon Knight was first introduced as a nemesis for the Werewolf in 1975's Werewolf by Night #32, now one of the most collectible comics of the Bronze Age. The appeal of the character was so great that he was soon launched into his own adventures as a hero, culminating in his own title in 1980. There is much anticipation among fans of Moon Knight entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has driven interest in original art from the character's early adventures.

Bill Sienkiewicz, who would go on to become a major artistic voice in comic books of the 1980s, first broke through as a name working on Moon Knight, starting with short stories in the Rampaging Hulk magazine and continuing when the character was launched in his own title. The young artist was rapidly evolving his style during his tenure on the title. Sienkiewicz's early work on the character clearly reflected his interest in the style of Neal Adams, but it was on this series that his style developed into something uniquely his own. Moon Knight is one of the Marvel heroes with which Sienkiewicz is most closely associated and interest continues to rise in original art from the series. Sienkiewicz would go on to develop a much more abstract style that he famously applied on New Mutants and Elektra: Assassin.
