*Marvel: While this issue is a frequent visitor to our shelves, it never languishes for long. In August 1990’s X-Men #266, while temporarily de-aged to childhood (don’t you hate it when that happens?), Storm met a charismatic thief named Gambit, who aided her in escaping from the Shadow King. Unlike many one-off guest-stars, however, Gambit caught on with the reading public, and stuck around to become a mainstay of the team – fortunately ditching his original costume of pervy knickers, stripey tights and flasher-mac in favour of a more conservative ensemble! Despite persistent rumours of a Gambit solo film having finally, it seems, fizzled, he remains a hugely popular figure in the lucrative X-Men franchise, and his full debut is always a hot choice with buyers. This is a sparkling VF, with only the faintest wear barely perceptible under close inspection.
