Pulptober 2024 Day 11: Moon Knight/Feats of Courage, Feet of Clay

"Random bullshit, go!"

In his first appearance, Moon Knight was a villain. Or at least, playing the role of a villain. Jack Russell, reluctant star of Werewolf By Night, was being pursued by an evil cabal of rich people who wanted to harness lycanthropy to make themselves even more rich and powerful. According to the story Marc Spector tells in that first issue, he's a mercenary who was hired and given his costume and silver weaponry by the conspiracy for the purpose of hunting and capturing the werewolf.

Of course, he's telling this story to Jack shortly before the full moon rises and turns the protagonist into his monster form, which is kind of weird, And also after capturing Jack for the Committee, he's nagged by also captive women to not be so evil in a fashion that's a little too easy.

So it's not difficult to buy the retcon that he'd already been Moon Knight, and his friend Frenchie had infiltrated the Committee to trick them into making mercenary Marc Spector into Moon Knight with stuff Frenchie just happened to have lying around somehow.

The mercenary part turns out to be real, he's done some awful things for among other groups, the CIA, but a "religious experience" in an Egyptian tomb got him connected to the moon god Khonshu, and he chose to become a masked adventurer, fighting on the side of mostly good.

He borrowed the idea of multiple secret identities from the Shadow, with Steven Grant as his Lamont Cranston and Jake Locksley as his Moe Shrevnitz. These fellows eventually became full on alternate personalities as Moon Knight's mental instability was turned into a major theme.

Moon Knight's been up and down the power scale, from just a guy with special training in a fancy costume, to full on moon god avatar, depending on the writer. He generally means well, but has severe personal issues.

Here's a look at a magazine issue that has Moon Knight as a central character before a lot of his character development kicked in:

And a review of a book about the Red Jackal, a pastiche of Moon Knight if he were an actual pulp character:

'The Eye of Vengeance' Book Review By Ron Fortier

'The Eye of Vengeance' Book Review By Ron Fortier

THE EYE OF VENGEANCE A Red Jackal Adventure By Jonathan W. Sweet Brick Pickle Media, L.L.C. 149 Pgs

The Twin-Cities rouge-colored adventurer returns in a full-length adventure that pits him against a mysterious criminal mastermind known by various names. For whatever nefarious reasons, publisher Blake Randolph’s secret crime-fighting persona has become the target of the sadistic villain who begins his campaign by systematically murdering the Jackal’s agents. Then the devious crook sets up an elaborate weekend getaway for half a dozen of the city’s elite personalities to a luxurious woodsy island retreat. There, one of the fiend’s twisted killers, dressed as the Red Jackal, brutally murders several of the guests so as to put the blame on the battling avenger.

Never have the stakes been higher. As he attempts to uncover the identity of his obsessed foe, the Red Jackal begins to worry that his closest confidants, including his brother David, police Lt. McDaniels and the lovely reporter Jennifer Jones, may become the madman’s newest targets. Once again, writer Sweet spins a fast-paced tale set against authentic backgrounds and history to deliver a truly rewarding tale. This being the character’s third outing, we’re totally bonafide and hope there’s a fourth soon on the way. The Red Jackal is what good New Pulp is all about.

I haven't played Forces yet but this is basically how it goes, right? I want him to bully me.

Found these doodles I started last week.

Playing around with the idea of 'which Sonic character would be the Robins'

I ended up with Infinite as Red Hood and custom character/Gadget as Tim Drake. There is no real logic behind this.

I just saw Infinite wearing a helmet being moody about his trauma and was like 'yeh close enough'.

Gadget was added because of his rivalry with Infinite.

I can't figure out who the others would be. I did play about with the idea of Eclipse as Damien tho.

@cursed--alien and I were chatting about them and decided that Medic sometimes just stops mid snusnu to infodump about the human body and Heavy will infodump about guns while cuddling afterwards

(FULL IMAGES UNDER CUT. it's only Spice ish, but I'm being on the safe side. Trust me though, I have faith in the Blanket Of Tasteful Censorship)

Need to find me a heart racing, earthquaking, queer, Nuerodivergent romance like them I fucking swear. I'm so jealous

Book Review: Enter the Jackal

Book Review: Enter the Jackal by Jonathan W. Sweet As you may have noticed by now, I’m a fan of the pulps. But I’m certainly not the most enthusiastic one, or most knowledgeable. Some folks have made the pulp magazines their main focus. Jonathan W. Sweet runs a reprint press, Brick Pickle Pulp, and does audiocasts about the field. And now he’s trying his hand at “new pulp” with this book, which…

Fig! Perhaps they should be a border Leicester, the sheep with the bunny ears… although I’ll need to change the breed name if so, since there’s no Leicester in Ozeum.

Having this problem with quite a few animals, actually - a lot of them have Earth-specific locations in their names. I mean, obviously, what other locations would they have.. But you know what I mean…..
