About the Book

"Marc Spector is back from the beyond! As an avatar and agent Khonshu, Egyptian God of the Moon, former mercenary Marc Spector has died and come back to life on more than one occasion.

About the Author

Canadian writer Jed MacKay has built an extensive list of credits at Marvel -- including such titles as Edge of Spider-Geddon, Infinity Wars: Ghost Panther, Daughters of the Dragon and Man Without Fear. His career caught fire in 2019 with Black Cat, a character-defining phenomenon. MacKay has built on that success with his highly entertaining take on Taskmaster; a high-profile relaunch of Moon Knight; and Death of Doctor Strange, which led Clea to become the new Sorcerer Supreme in Strange.

Moon Knight provided a hugely impressive U.S.-comics debut for Italian illustrator Alessandro Cappuccio, immediately establishing him as an artist to watch. Cappuccio continued his collaboration with writer Jed MacKay into the follow-up series Vengeance of the Moon Knight, while his other Marvel credits include Strange Academy Presents: The Death of Doctor Strange and a Marvel Age #1000 pairing with Mark Waid featuring the Original Human Torch.
