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.
_______________________________________________
There are many iconic characters in the Marvel Universe that have yet to be introduced into the mainstream of the MCU, but there is one omission that looms large in the rogue’s gallery of Marvel villainy, larger than Galactus even, the one and only Dr. Doom, who makes his debut in this very issue. Quite possibly the king of the mountain when it comes to House of Ideas evildoers, Victor Von Doom is the Darth Vader of the vaunted publisher’s stable. That being the case, it is inevitable that this book is going to explode in desirability and value at any possible moment, so, no matter the grade, we urge you most insistently to fortify your collectible portfolio with a copy of this important key.
Overstreet Guide 2020 VG- (3.5) value = $1,715.
