Moon Knight budget entry points: the run by Jeff Lemire (Moon Knight #1-14, 2016-2017) is between 3 and 6 euros per issue, the series by Warren Ellis (#1-6, 2014) remains under 8 euros per issue, and the post-Disney+ series issues (2022) are abundant under 3 euros. Used TPBs trade between 8 and 15 euros.
Moon Knight has long been the budget Marvel collector's best-kept secret. Before the 2022 Disney+ series, its comics were massively underrated, available in dollar bins everywhere. The TV series caused a temporary price spike, but this has largely subsided. Today, most of the Moon Knight bibliography has become very accessible again, with the exception of a few historical grails like Werewolf by Night #32 (first appearance, 1975).
The advantage of Moon Knight for the collector is the consistent quality of its modern runs. Unlike other Marvel secondary characters, Moon Knight benefited from prestigious authors (Ellis, Lemire, Huston, Bemis) who produced short and intense series. Each run is self-contained, which allows you to build a thematic collection without needing 200 issues. Consult our guide toMoon Knight key numbersto identify priority numbers.

Underrated Runs to Watch
The run ofCharlie Huston(Moon Knight vol.3 #1-13, 2006-2007) is a violent and psychologically intense story that relaunched the character after years of absence. The numbers are between 2 and 4 euros, an exceptional quality/price ratio. The run ofMax Bemis(2017-2018) is more experimental and divisive, but is in dollar bins and worth discovering.
The Jed MacKay series (2021-2023)
The MacKay run is the longest modern Moon Knight run (30 issues) and takes full advantage of the resurgence in television popularity. Issues #2-30 are already between 1 and 3 euros, while the narrative quality is remarkably consistent. This is probably the best lot in terms of quality pages per dollar spent on Moon Knight currently.
Where to find Moon Knight at a low price
Moon Knight remains a "connoisseur" character in conventions, which means that general sellers often undervalue him in their bins. Search the Marvel dollar bins from the years 2006-2020, you will regularly find Moon Knight issues there. Post-Disney+ series eBay lots are particularly advantageous: speculators who bought during the hype are now reselling below their purchase price.
TPBs are your best option for discovering short runs. “Moon Knight: From the Dead” (Ellis), “Moon Knight: Lunatic” (Lemire) and “Moon Knight: The Bottom” (Huston) can each be found between 8 and 12 euros used and offer complete, stand-alone reads.
Budget strategy: building a Moon Knight collection
With 60-80 euros you can own the essentials of modern Moon Knight. Our recommendation: the Ellis run in single issues #1-6 (25-35 euros per set), the Lemire run in TPB (2 volumes, 16-20 euros), and a set of the MacKay run (15-20 euros for 15-20 issues). So you cover three decades of premium Moon Knight.
Ultra-tight budget of 25 euros: aim for a single TPB from the Lemire run (10 euros) and complete with numbers from the MacKay run found in conventions at 1 euro each. Fifteen issues of MacKay plus the TPB Lemire give you 20+ hours of quality reading.
