The Moon Knight TV show is leaning into Marc Spector’s struggles with Dissociative Identity Disorder, and this week’s books by Jeff Lemire (Le Meyer) and Greg Smallwood (with Jordy Bellaire and Cory Petit) are a deep dive into Marc Spector’s childhood and the formation of Moon Knight’s many DID “alters.”  This is a fast moving, dreamlike and/or nightmarish story that finally addresses the issues of identity and mental illness that have been a part of Moon Knight’s history since the beginning.
