Synopsis for "A Long Way To Dawn"

Reprint of the 4th story from
Hulk! #20

Following Moon Knights life-or-death battle with the Hatchet Man, his lover Marlene Alraune has been brought into the hospital after accidentally being shot by police and gored by the Hatchet Man's ax.

With Marlene's condition being touch-and-go, the nurses tell Moon Knight that they won't know until dawn if she will survive the attack. With the police deciding to let Moon Knight off the hook for his vigilante activity, the masked hero decides to go out into the city. He helps out those less fortunate, however he is bitter and his mind keeps going back to Arlene.

He stops a security guard from drinking on the job, doubting this will stop him from taking up the habit again the following night. He gives a homeless man money, but suspects he will only spend it on booze. He watches as a cab driver deflates one of his colleague's tires. Moon Knight responds by slashing his. Spotting a man overdosing on heroin, Moon Knight saves him from drowning in a fountain and calls an ambulance, but he doubts the man will ever kick the habit. He comes across a prostitute being scolded by her pimp. When he tries to get involved, the prostitute tells him to mind his own business. Lastly, Moon Knight stops in Central Park where he foils the mugging of a homeless man and hears about his troubled life.

Later, Moon Knight returns to the hospital at dawn and learns that Marlene is stable is expected to recover and is thankful for that at least.
