You know it, when heroes...Hi Groovyone!<br /> You know it, when heroes were heroes and the companies had guide lines. Where it wasn't a anything goes used as a cop out. Instead of being creative & imagative. To get out of corner, they wrote themselves into, with a lame excuse. Just to have another useless mini-series, death, maiming or costume change. Just to put out a new #1 or multiple covers that many or most fans can't afford or could care less about.<br /><br />When DC & Marvel had grittier characters or stories. They used to serve a purpose. They didn't over use them. Or drag out the story forever. Because these writers & artists had talent. I mean I dug Wolverine,the Punisher, Deathlok, KillRaven, & Moon Knight as much as the other heroes. But it seemed after Watchman & Dark Knight. Everything from 88-mid 90's. Had to have the Punisher,& Ghostrider in it. <br /><br />Or a clone, a drunk, in other word tons of cheap selling gimmicks. No wonder the comic industry is in the toliet. Sure blame it all on the video game industry. Man am I happy i grew up in the 70's-early 80's!

This...I loved this time of Moon Knight's stuff. This was actually my first introduction to the character, and I remember just being amazed at how "edgy" the stories were. Of course, looking back on them now they look tame compared to today's stuff.<br /><br />These strips are reprinted in "Essential Moon Knight" volume 1, if you're feeling nostalgic.Brianhttp://www.comicsincrisis.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-60967451070931852652010-01-03T01:33:26.137-05:002010-01-03T01:33:26.137-05:00Hey Groovy One!
Gotta love the Moon K...Hey Groovy One!<br /> Gotta love the Moon Knight!! I remember the first time I saw him in Werewolf By Night#32. Man I & my buddies went bonkers for him. Loved his Batman/ The Shadow persona. Cool name too Marc Spector, like Nick Fury or even Jim Steranko. Really cool catchy name & easy to remember. <br /><br />I love his costume & gadets as a teen. The hood & eyes rocked. Plus his quarter moon shaped steel weapons/calling cards. Never could figure out how he could throw them with force though. I loved his back up by Bill S in the Hulk color mag.I never cared much for his supernatural origin they gave him later. Being a mercenary , who died & came back to life.<br /><br /> That was a bit much. I liked his earlier version, he was more of a playboy/The shadow/Batman type of hero. Man your posts keep getting better & better every day! Keep um coming!Thanks for helping us relive our youths! The 70's were far from perfect, must compared to today's screwed up world. They were like a second golden age, like the 50's were. For that generation. As a wise man from Milwaukee said. AAAAAAYYY!!!
