Where it came from
Marvel Comics Presents #89 was published in late 1991 as part of an anthology series designed to showcase rotating stories featuring various characters from the Marvel Universe. This specific issue is widely recognized by comic collectors for featuring the first appearance of Gambit in a solo story arc, titled 'Hit or Miss,' which was written by Howard Mackie and illustrated by Lee Weeks. At the time, the X-Men franchise was experiencing a massive surge in popularity, and this anthology provided a platform to flesh out the backstories of newer mutants who had recently gained prominence.
The creative direction for this issue leaned into the noir-inspired, atmospheric storytelling that defined early nineties Marvel, with Lee Weeks’ grounded artistic style complementing the gritty nature of Gambit’s undercover mercenary work. As part of a bi-weekly anthology, the issue was intended to keep readers engaged between major event series, and its inclusion of a fan-favorite character helped cement its status as a significant collectible within the broader Marvel Comics Presents run.
