It’s occured to me that while the close of The Death of Marc Spector arc (potential spoiler alert!!!) has confirmed that we will see the return of Moon Knight’s street savvy cabbie persona, Jake Lockley, to the fold there was a glaring omission at the end of the last issue.

Where was Jake Lockley’s mustache???

Maybe the announcement of the 7th annual El Dia Del Mustache has enhanced my cognizance of the male (and some unlucky females) nose garden, but the Jake Lockley at the end of issue 25 was definitely sans lip shrubbery.

The mustache is key to Jake Lockley’s personage. Think I’m exaggerating? Check out this panel from the first issue of 1999′s Doug Moench written High Strangeness:

Jake Lockley's Mustache Has Work to Do

And now check out this panel from the same issue to see the mustache in all it’s glory:

Sweet 'Stache, Jake

See how casual yet commanding that ‘stache is? That hairy black hole above his lip carries that whole panel.

Please make sure that ‘stache is there in the Down South arc, Mike Benson and Jefte Palo. Lockley needs his lip locks.

Viva la Moon Knight! Viva la Mustache!
