Dr. Doom makes his first appearance in Fantastic Four #5, instantly creating a top Silver Age collectible with the emergence of one of Marvel's most important villains. Of course, the deathly countenance of the Latverian ruler had roots in the Golden Age. Jack Kirby's design (and Stan Lee's complex characterization) still made Victor Von Doom one of the most influential pop-culture figures of the past 60 years.
Dr. Doom was soon a major Marvel presence outside of Fantastic Four, with Latveria becoming a destination for every hero from Thor to Luke Cage. Doom would even dominate the first Secret Wars saga on a planet populated by all of Marvel's favorites. (Mark Hamill confirmed the character's massive impact, recalling that his reaction to Darth Vader when first reading the Star Wars script was, “It’s Doctor Doom!”) A 2024 Doom one-shot comic quickly sold out in the shops. Fans also anxiously await Marvel Studios' revival of a Fantastic Four film franchise, eager to see Von Doom's debut within the official Marvel Cinematic Universe.
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.
Joe Sinnott is an American comic book artist. Working primarily as an inker, Sinnott is best known for his long stint on Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four, from 1965 to 1981, initially over the pencils of Jack Kirby. During his 60 years as a Marvel freelancer and then salaried artist working from home, Sinnott inked virtually every major title, with notable runs on The Avengers, The Defenders and Thor.
