I told Bendis that he couldn’t come up with a good pitch for Moon Knight in a billion years back in 1978 when he was my chauffeur, but hot bippy, did he impress with this little number. I remember Moon Knight. This little bi-polar Batman who was more bi-polar than Batman, back when he first appeared in 1975. I told Chayefsky about getting a script ready for Paramount, but he threw a desk at my naked body and yelled at me to get out of his house. Ah, those were the days. You bet your sweet ass. Back then I could get a brick of cocaine and a model and….
I LOVED THIS! I THOUGHT THIS WOULD NEVER FLY BUT WHAT DO I KNOW! I ONCE FIRED SAM BECKETT FROM HAPPY DAYS AFTER HE WROTE THAT EPISODEĀ WHERE CHUCK CUNNINGHAM WENT INTO HIS ROOM AND NEVER CAME OUT AND THAT OUTLINE OF THE SHARK JUMPING EPISODE WE ENDED UP USING AND DENIED HIM CREDIT AND THE MONEY, BUT HEY, THESE THINGS HAPPEN. ANYWAY, THIS COMIC BOOK WAS AMAZING. THE CHARACTERS, THIS MOON KNIGHT GUY, ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! AND THE ARTWORK…
The artwork was very dark and depressing. It reminds me of a young Munch. The Moon Knight is in a constant ballet with his feelings and the caverns within his mind. He is lost in a field of his own delusions and that is what scares him and what scares us. However, I did not enjoy Wolverine’s dialogue. I thought it was not as ecstatically pleasing to my ears or in my mind reading it. But this is not the Wolverine I loved when I was a little boy in Munich, 20 or so years before he actually appeared in a comic book. But life is such an odd wonderment.
Art: 5 - Excellent
