DESCRIPTION
Jack Kirby cover/art; 1st Marvel Villain Team-up (Sub-Mariner & Dr. Doom); 2nd app of both Doctor Doom & Silver Age Sub-MarinerFantastic Four #6, released in 1962, is a historically important and valuable collectible in the Marvel pantheon. Crafted by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, this landmark issue presents the second appearance of the iconic Doctor Doom. The book becomes even more of a key issue with the addition of Namor--a powerful enough combination that the two would one day get their own title as Super Villain Team-Up. The storyline not only showcases the brilliant synergy between Lee's narrative prowess and Kirby's dynamic art, but also solidifies Doom as a formidable and complicated adversary. This classic issue with villains is clearly a smart investment as fans anticipate the first Fantastic Four to be released under the auspices of Marvel Studios.
Artists Information
Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.
