Iron Man #161 is a Moon Knight guest appearance also in The Enemy Within; keep it here when following Marc, without detouring through the surrounding Iron Man run. The Solo Avengers #3, Marvel Fanfare #38–39 and Marvel Super-Heroes #1 selections are Moon Knight features too, rather than team adventures requiring those anthologies’ other stories.
