*Marvel: Gambit, the charismatic anti-hero who rescued Storm at a time when she was a powerless teenager (it happens to the X-Men more often than you think), made his very first appearance, an unheralded cameo, in 1990’s X-Men Annual #14, before progressing to a cover-starring role in X-Men #266. An instant hit with the audience – despite the Pepe LePew accent and the unfortunate early costume of boots, panties, stripey tights and flasher-mac – he rapidly became a key member of the X-Men, primarily because of his doomed romance with the untouchable Rogue. His solo movie project has been in, then off, and is now currently on again, so interest in his early appearances is about to spike – get in quick! Our X-Men Annual #14 is NM at £35, and X-Men #266 is VF+ p £75. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
