Claws out. Cards charged. Nobody is walking away clean. Wolverine/Gambit: Victims #4 from Marvel Comics closes out the Victims mini-series with a Tim Sale cover that is one of the strongest X-Men images of 1995 — Wolverine in the classic yellow-and-blue suit, three adamantium claws forward, Gambit charging a kinetic card in the shadows behind him, the whole composition burning against a pure black background. Published December 1995 at $2.95 US, this Newsstand edition carries the Marvel Comics logo, the Comics Code Authority stamp, and the "All New X-Men Special Event" banner. Tim Sale at the peak of his mid-'90s Marvel run, and it shows in every line.

Why Collectors Love It:
Victims was the prestige X-Men mini-series that let Tim Sale do what Tim Sale does — noir shadows, expressionist anatomy, and a London setting that made Wolverine feel genuinely dangerous rather than just angry. Issue #4 is the finale, which means the tension is fully cashed in and Sale's cover delivers the payoff: two of Marvel's most visually iconic characters, stripped down to silhouette and shadow, on a black field that makes every color pop like a spotlight. The Berry Berry Kix OverPower ad is the chaos chaser — Professor X and Lady Deathstrike on a cereal box, free cards in every marked pack, one bite and you'll get hooked. The Mallrats Magic Eye back cover is the artifact: "Snootchie Bootchies" hidden in a stereogram, Kevin Smith's name above the title, October 1995. Stare vacantly into space. It's in there.
Condition Notes:
Normal wear consistent with age and storage — expect spine stress, edge wear, and cover scuffing as shown in photos. Interior pages bright with solid color retention. Bagged for protection.
Perfect For:
Wolverine and Gambit run completists, Tim Sale cover collectors, Victims mini-series hunters, mid-'90s Marvel X-Men enthusiasts, Mallrats and Kevin Smith ephemera fans, and anyone who has ever stared vacantly into space and found Snootchie Bootchies waiting on the other side.
