Within the immense Marvel universe Moon Knight is certainly not a leading figure: his debut, in fact, dates back to 1975, when the splendor of the exciting Silver Age was already gone and the Comics industry was experiencing a deep crisis of both business and ideas. And yet the stories of this character, created by Doug Moench with the tables of Don Perlin, are permeated by a highly respectable appeal, where supernatural and dreamlike elements, quite fashionable at that time (think of Ghost Rider, for example) are mixed with dark atmosphere and psychological introspections, thus giving rise to original stories, equipped with a relevant narrative depth. On the other hand, the hero looks like a perfect depiction of those mystical elements, characterized by true spectral features: he is wrapped in a silvery costume and a huge coat, with a hood bringing to mind the magical medieval atmosphere and a mask that reveals only two eerie white eyes! Bowen has dedicated a beautiful statue to this charming character, sculpted by the Kucharek brothers and released in 2005 in two separate versions: the “Silver” statue, completely silvery in color, and the “White” statue, characterized by a blinding white shade on the costume and outside of the coat, with an adition size of 600 pieces, which has quickly become one of the most coveted pieces among collectors. The figure stands erect on the corner of a tower in ruins, adorned with pointed arches on each side and a beautiful full length gargoyle. The body is athletic and powerful, with hyper-defined muscles on abdomen, arms and legs and a chest nothing short of impressive, highlighted by the statuesque pose. The left arm is folded upward, with the hand that tightens the hem of the enormous cape surrounding the hero's body and forming a whole thing with the hood around the head. The piece is characterized by a superb chromatic contrast between the background white of costume (wherever exhibiting blue shades on muscle contours and folds of the cape) and the silver color on the inner side of the same cape, the beautiful mask on the face and many different decorative elements: the bands at the wrists and left ankle, the moons and the buckle on the belt, the typical, large moon centered on the chest. Note the beauty of the folds of the outer tunic (especially on the neck and left arm), the perfect shape of the nose and cheekbones that shine through the mask, the charming lack of expression of the great white eyes rimmed in black, and (last but not least) the great realism of the cracks and all architectural elements that define the tower. This is really a master work of great elegance and appeal! The white version of Moon Knight is not easy to find on ebay international circuits and it represents one of the true showpieces in the entire Bowen catalogue; for this reason, the market prices are always very high and, in my opinion, this is fully justified by the incredible aesthetic impact and the top-class sculptural quality.
