CRAP I COLLECT: MOON KNIGHT #1s

Mrs. Smash says I collect Collections, which I cannot argue against. One of the dumber ones are MOON KNIGHT #1s. I don't know how this started, but it was sometime in the mid-80s. Thankfully, Moon Knight has new #1s often, but not too often as to ruin the fun. I don't pick up EVERYTHING, but definitely the first issue of a new monthly ongoing... and sometimes mini-series, depending on my mood upon its release. Now you know me a little bit more than you did before!

You're missing a number 1!!!

The above pics are based on my memory... I haven't looked in that section of my collection in awhile (I need to, as new #1s have come out the past few years).

Which one are you referring to? I might have it... if not, I need to know what I'm missing!

Did you read the newest Moon Knight #1? I liked it, although there was something a bit confusing about it. Not necessarily a spoiler, but I won't write it if you haven't read it yet.

Jim said...

Yeah, I read the new #1.... it was enjoyable... Koo-Koo, Koo-Koo!

Jim-

It's this one- from 1989. I have this complete run. THIS is the volume that made Stephen Platt a star, back in the early 90s....

D'oh!

I'm an idiot... that's the first Moon Knight issue I ever bought!
