Moench has worked for DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics and many other smaller companies; he has written hundreds of issues of many different comics, and created dozens of characters, such as Moon Knight. In 1973, Moench became the de facto lead writer for the Marvel black-and-white magazine imprint Curtis Magazines. He contributed to the entire runs of Planet of the Apes, Rampaging Hulk (continuing on the title when it changed its name to The Hulk!) and Doc Savage, while also serving as a regular scribe for virtually every other Curtis title during the course of the imprint's existence.

The pair are probably best known for their work on Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu, which they worked on together from 1974–1977. They also co-created Six from Sirius, Slash Maraud, and S.C.I. Spy, and have worked together on comics projects featuring Batman, Conan the Barbarian and James Bond.
Moench has frequently been paired with the artist and inker team of Kelley Jones and John Beatty on several Elseworlds Graphic Novels and a long run of the monthly Batman comic.

I've become obsessed with all things Moon Knight recently, so it goes to figure that I'd eventually have to break down and read his origin story in the first issue of the 1980 comic. Now, like most superheroes, this isn't his first appearance, but it is his first time getting his own title.
And guess what?
It was pretty good!
Marc Spector is a mercenary with a heart. <--Sort of.
When he notices that his team commander (Bushman) is killing for thrills and gold instead of just doing what needs to be done, he and his BFF (Frenchie) make a plan to get the hell out of Dodge.
I think I would have known something was wrong with Bushman when he came back from the tattoo shop with a white skull emblazoned on his face...but, then again, not everyone is as good at reading people as I am.
While Marc and Frenchie pack their shit, an archaeologist and his daughter (Marlene) hear that this group of mercenaries is planning to attack the village they're in, ransack their dig site, and sell the ancient goodies on the black market. Dear Old Dad takes it upon himself to sneak up on Bushman and save the day!
It doesn't work out well for him.
Marc tries to stop the old man from getting killed but he's too late, and once Bushman realizes that Marc isn't on board with the raping and pillaging, he kicks his ass and drops him in the middle of the desert to die.
Long story short (too late!), Marc ends up in Konshu's tomb with Marlene where he dies, then somehow gets resurrected by the Moon god.
Ok, as much as I enjoyed this, there are some really clunky transitions that let you know this is definitely 1980's style storytelling. For example, one minute Marc is fighting Bushman & Co., and the next he's got his Moon Knight persona back in the States and living large as a superhero.
There's a ONE-page description of Marc's other aliases (Steven Grant - playboy, Jake Lockley - Cabbie, Moon Knight - vigilante) and not much else. Somehow, his alter ego Steven's 'Wall Street wizardry parlays Marc's meager savings into a millionaire's fortune', Marlene and her fuzzy slippers are living with him, and Frenchie is working with him behind the scenes as a more Pariasn version of Alfred.
Still, this was one of the better, more thorough, origin stories I've read in quite some time. If you're interested in this character, I'd recommend you read this and #2. This tells you Marc became Moon Knight, and the next issue shows you how he meets (and comes to work with) Geena & Crawley.
Recommended!

The first issue of the FIRST Moon Knight series!
This introduces the Egyptian god Khonshu but not the fact that Marc’s different identities are different personalities. I did enjoy learning more about Marc. I did not like that Marlene hated Marc's guts one second then the next was like; ‘he’s so handsome’. Yes, of course they get together but come on!

Khonshu
I have finally begun my journey into the crazy ass universe of Moonknight. Starting with issue 1. In terms of setting up the world of moonknight I thought this issue did a good job. Moench’s concept for the origin is actually very original feeling. I love it. The art is frickin great and I like the early Moonknight suit. Frenchy is set up very quickly but that wasn’t a problem because Frenchy as of now is functional as a sidekick or ward or what ever he is. What isn’t alright is how goddamn rushed everything else is. How the hell does Marc Spector have ninja level fighting skills? Why did the story brush over the 4 identities so fast? It’s really lazy and noticeable that Moench just wanted to squeeze everything in as soon as possible. Marlene’s introduction is better than I thought it would be but also worse at the same time. The creativity is there it’s just her reaction to everything that was happening. I find it very hard to believe that Marlene would come to care for Marc at all. And in terms of the “Is Moonknight a copy of Daredevil and Batman?” argument, I’d say yes and no. Yes because he dresses up in a cape and costume, fights criminals at night, throws batarang like blades, has Daredevil like fighting sticks, has his version of Alfred, Moon Vehicles, and strikes fear into criminals *breeeeeaaath!* And no because Marc Spector later on will become insane, kills people, dresses in white, wants people to see he’s coming and has a much more interesting origin etc.

Marc Spector, merc, discovers an archeological dig of an ancient Egyptian temple. After being ambushed by mercenary leader, Raoul Bushman, Spector is left to die. Ancient worshipers discover his body, taking him to statue of the lunar god, Khonshu. Wrapped in cloak, Spector is giving a second-life as the crime fighting Moon Knight.
It’s difficult enough to deal with two identities, let alone four: Moon Knight, Marc Spector, Steven Grant (millionaire playboy) and Jake Lockley (taxi cab driver). Although the human identities have little depth--bad actors--Lockley’s diner escapades provide some respite from the some typical hero moments. Villains like Nimrod Strange, Marlene the ‘bond’ girl, his right-hand man Frenchie, don’t help counter the notion that Moon Knight isn’t all that different from past iterations of ‘white knights.’
Simply Bond meets Batman would've sufficed as a review.
The series really doesn’t come to its own until 14th issue. The first appearance of the beautiful and mysterious, Stained Glass Scarlet. Discovering a voice and consistent narrative that fully embraces Moench’s literary prose. Alongside an evolving art style that becomes more and more Bavaesque, Moon Knight overcomes its unavoidable comparison by transforming into something horrifying.
With Scarlet, the forlorn mother who lives in an abandoned church is perpetually haunted by what what she has to do when her criminal son comes back into her life. A showcase of what can be achieved when the hero mainly exists to highlight the villains. Such villains including, a nazi rat (15). Morpheus, Moon Knight’s biggest foe—the man who lives in an eternal nightmare. And fan favorite, The Dark Spectre (25). The empathetic war-vet reborn as Moon Knight’s doppelgänger. Finishing Moench’s epic run is the story of Lenny. The street thug who, by pawning his mother’s cherished music box, is held to confront the sins of the past.
“And now the street called dough row is ruled by no one, save the howl of a lonely wind.”
But by the time the series hits stride, Moench and Sienkiewicz are replaced. The series falls apart, only lasting a few more issues. But for about a dozen issues or so, Moon Knight is one of the best written and best drawn super hero comic of the early 80’s.

Story has holes, but I like the origin. Impressive vocabulary in this book, but then the writer goes and does things like the following which cheapens it: After Marlene finds Spector dead in the desert and decides to leave him in the Pharaoh’s tomb for retribution for killing her father (he didn’t), she pauses and says, “but he is handsome.” 🤦♂️ She also called a strip club a “jiggle joint”, and that made me laugh!

Great origin story!

Normally I find something about the older comics - Marvel and DC in particular - grating: the writing many times. Oh, not the plot lines, but there's so much text, so much of it unnecessary, that it feels like huge info dumps and just grates on me.
I didn't have that problem with this, although it was bizarre seeing Marc Spector without DID: the alternate personalities are clearly constructs that he has control of, rather than a mental health issue, and I've read the later runs, where he has DID, so I laughed a little realizing he just created characters to help him on his missions.
Overall, however, a good story and there are some really breathtaking moments like the women dancing with dead eyes in a strip club: it seems so simple, but it spoke to me as commentary on how women are exploited. It was one panel, and then Marc moved onto his next mission, but between that and Marlene's characterization - strong, moral, even though she falters at times like when her father is murdered and she's glad Marc is dead at first - I think the author won't completely shit on women which is nice, especially for the time.
The art is also excellent, but it wasn't my favorite, or even my favorite Moon Knight story, so I didn't give it five stars.

I am marking the first issue, but finished the first five.
This feels like Marvel’s answer to Batman a bit, except he has an additional identity to juggle.
But he still has all the riches.
He also appears to be pretty loyal to his lady, but still likes to crack his maid on the ass with one of his identities.
These early issues are a product of their time.
The enemies are not really captivating me at this point, but the first issues were one offs, which was nice. You got a full arc in a single issue, which I greatly respect.
The author is disciplined enough to keep up with the demands of the medium. The stories are decent. The character is compelling enough for me to keep reading.
Even though I know there’s a lot wrong here, there’s a lot right for me.
I like the night scenes. I enjoy the darker depictions of the city. The gritty crime and alleyways. All that shit is nice.

I’m gonna give a non-spoiler review for issues 1-10 here because these are short, and I didn’t feel like doing individual reviews for all of them.
It’s a decent origin story despite being dated. The first few issues are very villain of the week, but they build up to a couple two-parters that I liked. Storytelling isn’t as smooth as it could be, but I’m able to grasp the important parts. The introduction of his other identities was really rushed. There’s no hint of him going by other names until we’re abruptly told at the end of this first issue that he has alter egos. It brushes over a lot of stuff to get him and the other characters out of Egypt.
Marc’s feelings about himself are explored a little more in later issues, but even then, it doesn’t fully explain what’s going on. I’m more familiar with the version of him that explicitly has DID, and even if that was the intention here, it doesn’t feel like that. It’s not really about multiple separate consciousnesses fighting crime together; it’s the story of one vigilante with secret identities who struggles with his past and self acceptance. That’s also interesting, but it makes me look forward to seeing how other runs portray him. I’m sure that Moench just didn’t have the resources to accurately portray Marc’s mental illness, and that’s why it feels off.
The connection to Khonshu is supernatural, but it’s not a huge part of the story. It’s more like the comic is winking at you because we know it’s supernatural, but not all of the characters believe that. Egyptian mythology is unfortunately used pretty lightly so far, and I wanted them to lean into the god stuff. Maybe they will later.
So these are a product of their time, but they’re fun to read through. Also I like the crescent moon chopper design.

I love the TV show, wanted to read the comic.
First up, there’s a content warning about racist depictions - but honestly, I don’t see it? Because Bushman is black? I didn’t see any racist wording and a strong black villain shouldn’t be considered racist. I dunno if something was altered from the original, but then why the content warning?
However, I will criticise the colouring of black skin in this. Again, maybe it’s a digital recolouring issue, but black people look washed out and deathly grey. It’s super weird because other skin tones are fine, it only affects black characters.
Otherwise, the origins are decent. He’s very much an anti-hero, even at this point in comics, skirting the line of violence. Clearly there’s content in prior books as the time skip after the origin story just dumps the present context onto the reader, which is terrible and frustrating. While Bushman is a brilliant antagonist, Moon Knight’s cadre are not. Frenchy is… French. That’s it. Marlene is a horrendous sycophant and an unrealistic annoyance I want to go away. Then there’s a random butler in one panel.
The issue would have been perfect if it was just Moon Knight v Bushman.

Moon Knight is the new MCU entrant and as such the new craze for me so obviously time to read as many stories as we can find as you may or might not know I always like to read the stories from as back as possible so this time we start with the original series run between 1980-1984. Nice one obviously graphics are 1980 quality and things should improve with newer runs. This was nice as this was just alluded to in the latest episode of the Moon Knight series.
I have always loved comics, and I hope that I will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics or Diamond Comics or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I Love comics to the bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

Moench does a solid job of setting up the bare bones of Moon Knight here and Bill Sienkiewicz (who would later go on to illustrate Batman) brings grit, and street-level action here that works incredibly well with the character.
As far as the plot goes, Moon Knight has a fairly straight forward origin, former mercernary gunned down by an old comrade, brought back (ambiguously) from the dead by Egyptian god Khonshu. Their relationship would go on in later works to be expanded upon - including covering how fractured his mind became from this traumatic experience.
Sidenote: Doug Moench did not intend for Marc Spector to have DID, and gave Marc more of an obsessiveness with secret identities angle, but he DEFINITELY lays the groundwork for those interpretations (and is known to at least appreciate Charlie Huston's interpretation)

I had a subscription to Moon Knight when it was one of the not available to the general public comic shop only titles. It was such a great book and this first issue is really good. The team of Doug Moench and Bill Sienkiewicz created a truly classic run and it is one of my all time favorites. This is a great issue to start reading Moon Knight also with the introduction of the Khonshu mythology.

Πρώτη εμφάνιση του Moon Knight σε δική του σειρά, όπου ξεκινάει με ένα origin του ήρωα. Το τεύχος περιέχει μια πολύ ικανοποιητική μείξη δράσης και βίας (χωρίς αυτή να είναι βέβαια τόσο γραφική όσο στις σύγχρονες σειρές του ήρωα) και θα ήθελα σίγουρα να δω τη συνέχεια της σειράς.

Not great.
Not as good as the 12-year old me remembers it. Sketchy plotting; not detailed or in depth. It's all set-up for a series. I'm guessing it gets better as the character gets fleshed out more.

Read if you REALLY want the first version of the modern origin story and don’t mind a gaping hole in the explanation of a major plot point. The regan era is clearly coming in full force.

It's hard not to make a lot of skeptical comparisons to Batman, and I absolutely don't understand how we are supposed to just accept the millionaire and cabbie personas.
I can imagine some future iteration of this character being interesting, but I may not be continuing with Volume 1.

It doesn't really explain how he becomes Moon Knight, a very rushed story. I guess the details of his origin is revealed on the next issues?
