Moon Knight # 1 2014 VF/NM

Moon Knight # 1 the first issue of the 2014 series published by Marvel Comics, was released on March 5, 2014. This critically acclaimed run, by the creative team of Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey, is often credited with redefining the character for a modern audience. 

• Writer: Warren Ellis.
• Artist: Declan Shalvey.
• Colorist: Jordie Bellaire.

• The "Mr. Knight" Persona: The issue is notable for the first appearance of the "Mr. Knight" persona. In this form, Marc Spector wears a pristine white suit and mask, operating as a consulting detective for the New York Police Department on unusual crimes. This look and concept became a permanent fixture of the character and influenced the Disney+ Moon Knight series.
• Story: The standalone story, titled "Slasher", follows Mr. Knight as he investigates a serial killer who is targeting and dismembering people across Manhattan. He profiles the killer to be a highly trained but wounded individual and tracks him into the tunnels beneath the city, ultimately defeating him.
• Reception: The issue and the subsequent six-issue run were widely praised for their tight, one-shot storytelling, minimalist dialogue, and striking visual style that made Moon Knight "the light" in the darkness, rather than a Batman analogue. Reviewers found it to be an excellent starting point for new readers, focusing on atmosphere and action over complex continuity.
