Review/plot:
More Moon Knight back-up stories.

Moon Knight eventually realizes that the "Hatchet-Man" in the scans above is his brother, Randall Spector. He'll later return as Shadowknight. In this story, he's impaled on a tree branch and it's said that he's dead.

The most interesting is a tale involving the Hulk, in which it is told twice, from Moon Knight's perspective and then from the Hulk's.

I appreciate your "references" links, fnord. Nice to get an opportunity to revisit the Neal Adams era of Sienkiewicz's work.

That Sienkiewicz art is cool of course, but Bob McLeod's art on the Hulk story is REALLY nice.
