Moon Knight: a superhero with (several) jobs and many memes

Graphic Policy Radio

Comics critic Harry Kassen guides a jounrney through the many phases of Moon Knight's Marvel comics series from 1975 through today -- just in time for his big Disney + TV debut. Moon Knight isn't just a source of absurdist memes -- he reflects changes in the comics medium. We'll look at some of the best runs of Moon Knight with an especially close look at comics art legend Bill Sienkiewicz who's style came into its own through the series. So join us to learn about the alteregos, the angst and most of all the artists that make Moon Knight more than Marvel's color-shifted Batman.
