Marvel Knights is an imprint of Marvel Comics. Dealing with more mature themes than the regular imprint, it is intended more for teenagers than children. However, it does not deal with the adult themes touched on by the MAX imprint. The imprint originated when Marvel outsourced four titles ( Black Panther, Daredevil, The Punisher and The Inhumans) to Joe Quesada's Event Comics company; Event hired the creative teams for the Knights line while Marvel published them.
