Gambit 1 page 32 by Steve Skroce and Rob Hunter

Gambit can certainly do more than walk and chew gum at the same time! What a cool sequence with the gum explosive use of his powers. Congrats on getting the art page for the specific moment you remember so well fron this 90s number 1 issue.

From the top of my head, I have another similar page to post (of THE moment for me in that particular series) but I already have the chance to own several of those in the collection.

Kudos for finding THE page that is most seared into your brain from this sequence! Amazing that you've already owned it for 25 years! I was personally never a huge Gambit fan. I thought he was alright, but I didn't love him. But I have to take this opportunity to say that I finally got around to watching Deadpool/Wolverine a few days ago and in all honesty, although they should've tweaked the costume a little bit (made the purple chest plate darker and not so bright) in a couple of areas (the head piece, even if true to the comics, looked cheesy), Gambit otherwise was pretty badass! I especially liked the card throwing/exploding effects and also thought he did a really nice job with the Cajun accent. So yes, believe it or not, I enjoyed the live action version of Gambit more than I ever did the comic book version! I'm sure I'm in the minority in that regard, but who knows, this may now make me appreciate him more in his comic book appearances. What I know for sure is that I'm actually hoping and looking forward for Marvel to bring him back in a future movie, be it X-Men or just as another guest appearance in someone else's film!

While I (truly) love to see your comments on pieces I post, I strongly believe this one is written with the sole purpose of annoying me and have me rant again 😊

Which other reason could you possibly have to mention the appearance of Gambit in a movie I did not (need to) know he was in and will never ever watch except if I’m gifted the original art page previous to this one in order to do so?

To make it clear(er) and public once again, I don’t care about Gambit or any particular character, I care about CREATORS.

I.E. I would buy a NFL PRO comic written by Alan Moore, a Toxic Avengers one written by Warren Ellis, an Awesome Possum drawn by Michael Golden or a Bat Dung one if drawn by Jason Pearson (and the list is endless) 😉

Nope, that was a 100% serious comment. You have to remember that YOU may not care about characters, but most people do.

Congratulations! I can see why you wanted this. Skroce shows all the skill that made him a such an in-demand storyboard and concept artist.

I hope for his sake that he didn't produce storyboards with that level of detail but indeed he shows off his great skills here (and on this series).

Doesn't look like he took much detail off!

I always thought the X-Cutioner armor was a cool design. Great detail here. Congrats!

Let's thank Pearson for it then :)

This would be in the time period after he did work for The Matrix.  Non stop action and quick storyboarding pace by Skroce!

Long time fan of Skroce.  If you got any OTHER unshared art left over 25 years..shame, shame..or not.

I've got many, still (Skroce included) ;)

Not easy to keep this beauty hidden for 25 years!!! Great page and thank you in the end for showing it!

Hawk Tuah!  Remember it!

All the beautiful lines and tiny details scream Skroce and it was. Cheers on this fun Gambit page. 

Steve's work on Gambit was the high water mark for his career in my memories.  Nice to see this page here on CAF!

Phenomenal Gambit page from Steve Skroce and Rob Hunter! There's a definate edginess to Steve's work and Rob's inks really enhance that edginess!

When I think Skroce I think ASM and Gambit...action-packed example from issue 1, man, congrats!
