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.

This is a high-grade copy of an important Silver Age Marvel key which has seen steady growth over the past few years, and with rumors swirling around Dr. Doom and the MCU, investing in his first appearance and the origin story of Victor Von Doom is a no-brainer. This book hits all the right notes, a wonderful color strike, rigid spine, and nice corners, the classic Kirby cover is resplendent as the bright hues shine forth from a subdued background. The way things are trending on this book it will soon be one of those keys many will only dream of owning in such an amazing state.
Overstreet Guide 2020 NM- (9.2) value = $28,000.
