Jack Kirby cover/art; origin & 1st app. of Dr. Doom, bondage cover, Dr. Doom movie rumors! Comic Book Impact rating of 9 (CBI)Dr. Doom made his first appearance in Fantastic Four #5, creating an instant top Silver Age collectible with the emergence of one of Marvel's most important villains. The deathly countenance of the Latverian ruler has roots in the Golden Age, of course. 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.
That includes Doom's role as a clear inspiration in the creation of Darth Vader. The upcoming Marvel Studios revival of the big-screen Fantastic Four is one of the most hotly anticipated projects in the history of superhero films, with fans eager to see Von Doom's return to the official Marvel Movie family.
We are offering another copy of an essential Marvel key here with the very first appearance of
probably the most infamous, and likely the most influential supervillain of all time -- Doctor Doom! Without Dr. Doom, there would be no Darth Vader, let alone a slew of other baddies in pop culture! Stan Lee and Jack Kirby truly outdid themselves with Doom’s creation. If you are a true Marvel collector this is indeed a must-have issue!
