Moon Knight 25, page 21

Comment

One interesting aspect with this page is the depiction of the character Marlene Alraune. In earlier Moon Knight issues she is drawn as a spitting image of Stan Drake´s Eve Jones. Here, in issue 25, she is her own woman. It is common knowledge among Sienkiewicz fans that Sienkiewicz was liberating himself from imitating his mentor Neal Adams´ style at this point. I would say that the Marlene example shows that he was liberating himself from imitating Drake - both his and Adams´ mentor - too.
