Set Description
My quest for my perfect nostalgic Moon Knight set
The year was 1989 and like the many ornaments adorning our Christmas tree, the vivid moon hung with perfect care in the midnight sky. Its light cascading off of the freshly laid snow below, illuminating the living room where we sat waiting.
The anticipation my brothers and I held in this moment was palpable, matched only in intensity by what came next; us boys tearing our way through the ornate wrapping of the single present that had held our attention that night.
When this flurry ceased, we began digging through the books included in our newly unwrapped Marvel Comics Collecting Kit, unaware of just how much the contents of this wonderful orange box would shape our lives. While I had some some prior exposure to comics, it wasn't until we were gifted this collection that my love for Marvel became cemented. The set held many different comics we each gravitated towards; my brothers with Wolverine and Deathlok, me towards Classic X-Men and Iron Man. However we all shared a common love of the first two issues of this series. We were absolutely enamoured over this silver-cloaked crime-fighter and the amazing Chris Warner art, and like those perfect lunar lit nights, Moon Knight would become a core nostalgic memory that would be revisited for years to come.
With the special place this series holds in my heart, I feel that my goal for re-collecting it should be nothing less than the best I can find. To this end I'll be tracking down a full 9.8 set, with ideally page quality as bright WHITE as the moon itself. The set will be kept on display at my home, where it can spark much reminiscing whenever my brothers and I gather.
