1st appearance of Dr. Doom, w/ origin, bondage cover; Jack Kirby cover/art; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 9 (CBI)
Fantastic Four #5 features the first appearance of Doctor Doom, instantly creating a top Silver Age collectible as the Fantastic Four ushered in 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 hot 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 Dr. Doom!”) A 2024 Doom one-shot comic quickly sold out in the shops. Fans also anxiously awaited Doom's debut within the official Marvel Cinematic Universe. That became one of the biggest showbiz stories of 2024 when Robert Downey Jr. took on the role for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

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!
