Description

❤️ The first full appearance of Gambit — the new printing — in the premium foil format — the Unknown Comics exclusive FOIL new printing variant for the Uncanny X-Men #266 facsimile (2024), the landmark 1990 issue introducing Gambit in premium foil finish, new printing configuration. Uncanny X-Men #266 (August 1990, Chris Claremont/Mike Collins) is the first full appearance of Gambit — Remy LeBeau, the Cajun thief whose charged personality and charged-card powers made him one of the most popular X-Men of the 1990s, and whose relationship with Rogue became one of the defining romantic threads in X-Men history. A new printing of the facsimile represents continued demand for a chapter whose historical significance continues to generate collector interest long after its initial release. The FOIL configuration elevates the new printing into a premium display tier — the metallic surface of the foil treatment amplifying the visual impact of the Unknown Comics exclusive cover and creating a physical presence appropriate to a first appearance of Gambit’s magnitude. ❤️ The blank companion (also available) offers the sketch cover format for collectors who want the canvas on this historic first appearance; the FOIL delivers the premium finished product. A collection of the Rogue and Gambit story’s key issues — UXM #266 first full Gambit, alongside the signed Zann/LoCascio Kirkham exclusive for the same issue — tells the complete story of how collectors have engaged with this landmark chapter.

This is the Uncanny X-Men #266 Facsimile Exclusive FOIL New Printing Variant — the Unknown Comics exclusive FOIL, new printing, for the 2024 UXM #266 facsimile.

Returns & Exchange

Take your time — you've got a full six months. If a piece isn't right for you, send it back the way it reached you and we're good.

In the first 30 days your money goes straight back the way you paid. After that it's store credit, so you can put it toward something you'd rather have.

Return shipping we sort out between us, case by case. I don't make this difficult.

If something arrives damaged, or it isn't what I said it was, send me a photo within 48 hours and I'll make it right.

Email [email protected] or call 802-356-9872 — that's me answering, not a call center.

The only things I can't take back are custom or special-order pieces and gift cards.
