Gambit #3 cover (1993) - Gambit

"Miss me, petit?  Ah reckon so."

Nearly three decades after its debut, this cover still stands out for its incredible design.  Congrats on this amazing get!

Memorable Cover! Congrats! 

Nice one James,congrats !

Gambit has always been so interesting to me, because I was still reading/collecting comics, including X-Men, when #266 came out, but unlike you 90's kids, he seemed like a throwaway character to me and I don't have any affinity for him to this day. So I'm honestly fascinated by the fact that so many X-Fans actually LOVE him so much, because I suppose I just don't understand why. That may be a topic we'll have to chat about some day! At any rate, I've always said that Lee Weeks is one of the absolute best artists to break into the industry over the past 30-40 years and he can make anyone and anything look appealing, as he demonstrates here on this cover. Kudos on landing a rare mini-series cover of one of your favourite X-Men!

Watch the cartoon and it all makes sense...

Major addition from a great artist, congrats.

Fastest hands in the West (Central?).  You snatched that up super quick!

Huge congrats James. One of the standout covers of the rajun Cajun. Screams 90s mon ami

Always fun to see you scratch your 90's itch.

Too cool! Taking us back to our childhood!

They tried to make James go to Rehab
But he said Rogue, Rogue, Rogue

I love this cover, even if I didn't read the book. Lee Weeks can do no wrong - truly a modern master! Congrats, now back to your regularly scheduled DPS programming?

A memorable 90s cover and 'tres cool' Gambit piece, congrats James!

Great cover - Weeks is such a master. Huge congrats.

Unbelievable.  If this doesn't get the juices flowing, then nothing will.  HUGE congrats on landing this bad boy, wow!

What day is it? Another day, another flex add to an awesome collection. Congrats, bud!

Awesome and very memorable Gambit cover piece.  Loved this shiny mini-series when it came out.  Very nice find!  These covers were all really great!  

Nostalgic and memorable cover. Great pick up!

really awesome, all the covers from this series really popped, lots of nostalgia. Wish they made a Gold Foil version for every cover tho instead of just #1 haha. Congrats James! 

Now being without Rogue takes a lot of Gambit used to
Should learn to Lee Weeks it, but I got issues
Being without you is all a big heartache
Instead of getting easier, it's the artist's best own take
I'm addicted to art Remy, you're a hard Gambit to break.

I've often seen art overlay a portion of the title for a cover, but this has got to be the most integrated title and art I have ever seen. Really done well. Congrats.

Congrats James! Gotta feel good hoping for a panel page and landing a cover.

You know the gods like you when you score something this good! Congrats!!

I like the art.  But I'm here for the comments.   How do I post a popcorn gif?

Oh, you got this gem!  I was sorely tempted.  Congrats man!

I've always loved Lee's art, no matter the subject. Definitely would love to get more, congrats on a great addition to the collection!

Pure '90s goodness. Awesome cover (even if it is on a tiny 11x17 piece of paper 😝).

Believe me when I tell you that this mini was HOT - we felt the heat all the way in Pakistan, and these 4 issues were VERY highly prized. The logo is superb, but let's not deny Lee Weeks - the man does not shy away from a challenge and Gambit's pose is a challenge to say the least. Also, Lee Weeks is a wonderful person - God bless him and his endeavors. 

Congrats!

Fantastic pick-up! Love the dramatic graphic design here (And the Gambit art ain't too bad either)!

Love this, man.  The covers to this series, with the super big title lettering, are seared into my brain.  So cool how it's used as background.  Graphic goodness paired with Weeks's TOP illustration skills.  He's so good.  Prime exampe of his stuff here, bud.  Big congrats!

nice piece 

Talk about your perfect MASSIVE UPERCUT setup. Baddies always walk right into that one. KAPOW! Wow, this is an excellent Gambit cover. I love the layout for this, and that oversize title. It was just so cool looking on the stands. And now you have that coolness for yourself. Great 90s cover. Congrats!

Back in 1998, I was addicted to the Marvel vs Capcom game in the arcade and got pretty good at it. It was a tagteam game where each player got 2 players. I always had gambit as my second player...I'd use wolverine to build up the super, and then I'd quickly switch to Gambit to use the super and he'd throw a ton of cards for a 46 hit combo or something. This cover and this pose is bringing back such memories of that. Like I said, nice piece ;)

Félicitations pour une superbe couverture d'un mec Cajun sexy! C'est un excellent ajout à une superbe collection.

Merci!  I'm glad you like it, chere! ;-)

Another iconic 90's addition to your collection James. One of those four issue limited runs from the X-Men that are impossible to forget. Congrats.

I didn't realize Weeks drew this. Very dramatic cover with the leaping villain. Congrats!!!!

I totally missed out on Gambit-mania, but that is a sweet cover, and, yes, the person who made the title-overlay did a great job, surely increasing the eye-appeal.

Yeah!! Nostalgic one!!! Congrats man!!

Ah, the good old days when the title would take up 1/2 the cover :)  Kidding aside, this is one of those covers that needs all the cover stats to take in the full impact.  Congrats on the pickup!

I remember buying the first issue with the shiny gold embossed cover and how Gambit became my favorite X-Man. Really liked how the covers have a cool big logo on the background. Congrats!

A great example of Lee's art and a wonderful addition to your amazing collection!  Congratulations! 

What's not to love?!?!?!   46 comments and counting.  Nuff said!!!

Incredible design on this, underscoring the magic that can happen only in comics, with words and pictures conspiring to land the greatest dramatic impact possible.  SCORCHINGLY fantastic cover, James!  In the split second that passed before the image clicked in my brain, my first thought was of a Mignola (who executes this type of image - bad guy / monster leaping at the hero, seemingly suspended in mid-air - with surgeon-like precision), but it is, of course, SUCH a pleasure to see master Lee Weeks' take on it.  Superb add, James!  Congrats!

This is a Fantastic Cover James. It was a pleasure meeting you at the show. You have amassed a very impressive collection in just 5 years.

90s miniseries were my go-to at the comic shop. Epic addition!

Love Lee Weeks art. Great dramatic cover!!!!

Lee Weeks is great and we know it but this cover is truly exceptional

Sweet cover!
