Gambit Classic #2
In "An Affair to Remember," Gambit finds himself caught between a high-stakes heist and a mysterious summons when the astral form of Tante Mattie appears to deliver a divine message. As bullets fly and Miami Beach erupts in chaos, Gambit encounters Anielle—emerging from the waves, bare and enigmatic—forcing him to choose between survival and something far more uncertain. Written by Howard Mackie and illustrated with striking precision by Klaus Janson, with colors by Christie Scheele and letters by Richard Starkings and Comicraft, this issue blends supernatural intrigue with pulse-pounding action. The cover by Lee Weeks captures the moment’s intensity, a haunting silhouette against the ocean’s edge.
