Genard Alouette

Stepping out of the bayou shadows of Fabian Nicieza and Yanick Paquette's Gambit #17 in 2000, Genard Alouette is a Modern Age Marvel creation steeped in the atmospheric, morally tangled world that surrounds everyone's favorite Cajun card-sharp. With a catalog presence that stretches across seventeen years, this is a character whose footprint may be modest in number but whose company is anything but — sharing pages with the likes of Belladonna, Courier, Constrictor, and the enigmatic Gris-Gris, Genard moves through one of Marvel's richest street-level corners. For collectors who love digging into the layered supporting casts that give a flagship character real texture and depth, Genard Alouette is exactly the kind of find that rewards a careful read-through of a beloved run.
