ow/white pages Jack Kirby cover/art; origin & 1st app. of Dr. Doom, bondage cover; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 9 (CBI)
Dr. Victor von 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 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 would become one of the biggest entertainment news stories of 2024 when Robert Downey, Jr. took on the role for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
___________________________
Robert Downey Jr.'s return to the MCU as Victor Von Doom had film fans celebrating, but there was also a lot of excitement from any collector with their own copy of Fantastic Four #5. In the wake of 2024's one-shot Doom, this entertainment news further established the book's place as one of the most important keys of the Silver Age. This 4.0.0 copy is an outstanding investment-level opportunity for collectors still on the hunt for this vital title — offering exceptionally strong colors for the grade, with any wear to the cover safely away from the classic focal point.
