Charlie Huston ist ein gefeierter Autor von Romanen (die Vampir-Saga um Joe Pitt, die Noir-Serie um Hank Thompson) und TV-Serien (die Comic-Adaptionen Gotham und Powers). Zudem schrieb er einige spektakuläre Marvel-Comics. Dieser Prachtband sammelt seine Saga über den brutalen Antihelden Moon Knight, den Avatar des ägyptischen Gott des Mondes. In knallharten Geschichten muss es der irre Mondritter mit seinen brachialsten Feinden aufnehmen. Doch er trifft auch auf Spider-Man, Captain America und den Punisher. All dies hat Zeichner David Finch in düsterer Großartigkeit umgesetzt. Finch ist ein Superstar, der viele Comics mit Batman und den Avengers bebilderte und Konzeptkünstler der Watchmen-Verfilmung von Zack Snyder war.

Diese Kulttrilogie ist perfekt für Fans von „The Big Lebowski“ und „Pulp Fiction“. Stephen King lobt Huston als brillanten Geschichtenerzähler mit einem morbiden Sinn für Humor und der Fähigkeit, finstere, komische Schurken zu erschaffen. Entertainment Weekly hebt hervor, dass der Plot Hitchcock neidisch gemacht hätte. Huston kombiniert extreme Gewalt, rasante Action und Melancholie zu fesselnden Geschichten, während die Washington Post ihn als einen der herausragendsten Krimiautoren des 21. Jahrhunderts bezeichnet. Publishers Weekly nennt ihn einen der frischesten Autoren unserer Zeit, und die New York Times Book Review hebt seine atemberaubenden Dialoge und unvergesslichen Charaktere hervor.

Ale je vůbec cesta zpátky?
