MOON KNIGHT #15 PAGE 24 by Bill Sienkiewicz

It's Moon Knight Week and here's a page I recently picked up in C-Link! I love the energy and frantic action to this page!

Moon Knight #15 (1982) featuring Moon Knight in battle with Xenos and his deadly rats. Xenos was a radical right police office who believed that foreigners were responsible for ruining America and wanted to kill as many as possible. Over 40 years ago master artist Sienkiewicz began his career working on Moon Knight stories. Sienkiewicz's work early on Moon Knight was strongly influenced by the great Neal Adams. Over time, the young artist began to evolve his style to the much more abstract approach you see in his work from the mid-1980s on. In 1982 Sienkiewicz's work was in transition from his original style to his new style. It's a nice balance that's very pleasing to the eye.

Synopsis for "Ruling the World from His Basement"
Someone is attempting to assassinate foreign dignitaries and at one point Moon Knight is witnessed as the assailant. Spector isn't responsible, as far as he knows, but a string of headaches has him worried that a rogue personality may be acting outside his memory. His fears are allayed when the culprit makes a subsequent appearance in a rat costume and calling himself Xenos. It turns out to be police Sgt. Gwenn, a covertly racist and xenophobic conspiracy theorist that had taken Moon Knight as inspiration, seeing him as a great "white knight", until witnessing his hero save the life of an Indian woman and became disillusioned. In their final showdown, Xenos is sneaking up on Moon Knight, but accidentally steps on a rat trap, alerting his target and leading to his defeat.
