Editing Moon Knight (section)

===Volume 1===
Moon Knight received his first ongoing series in 1980, with [[Doug Moench]] and Bill Sienkiewicz as its main creative team. The character received an expanded origin story in issue #1, including Spector's "resurrection" in the tomb of Khonshu, suggested by editor Denny O'Neil),<ref name="O'Neil 1984">{{Cite book|last=O'Neil|first=Denny|title=Moon Knight #38 – Editorial|publisher=Marvel Comics|year=1984|pages=2|authorlink=Dennis O'Neil}}</ref> which also introduced several supporting characters as well as recurring enemy [[Bushman (comics)|Bushman]]. Though many characters doubted the moon god Khonshu was real and believed Marc Spector only experienced a hallucination while near death, it was never explained why others, such as Spector's lover Marlene, concluded this when there was no other explanation for Marc's spontaneous recovery from his wounds and a death-like state.

After early sales were good, Marvel made the ''Moon Knight'' series a flagship title available in comic shops starting with issue #15.<ref name="O'Neil 1984"/> The companion mini-series ''Moon Knight: Special Edition'' reprinted the ''Hulk'' and ''Marvel Preview'' Moon Knight stories in color and standard comic format, adapted from their original magazine format. Sienkiewicz stopped penciling the series after issue #30, though he continued to contribute covers until the series ended with issue #38.
