Moon Knight (season 1) Creator Credits

The Disney+ Moon Knight series seems as though it primarily used Lemire and Smallwood's Moon Knight stories as their source material. It's not a bad series, but it's more "inspired by" Moench and Perlin's creations than an adaptation of it, with: Marlene Alraune written out and her background given to a character the showrunners created; Steven Grant as a nerdy Englishman (rather than a suave playboy); Jake Lockley as a Spanish limo driver (instead of Brooklyn cabbie); villains who share a name but precious little else to their comic book counterparts. It does feel like they wanted to portray Spector's mental problems with sensitivity and, well, the comics were never very good as depicting Spector's problems with much sympathy (or accuracy; or consistency).

Anyway, when it comes to Moon Knight I'm a Moench/Sienkiewicz man; but this isn't a review, it's a list of which creators contributed what to the Disney+ program. You can see my full list of Marvel Cinematic Universe creator credits here.
