The full origins of Marvel's most iconic and enduring villain, Doctor Doom, are revealed - as told by Doctor Doom himself!
From five-time Eisner Award-winning writer Ed Brubaker and acclaimed artist Pablo Raimond, with iconic cover art by Alex Ross.
From the black steppes of Eastern Europe to the throne of Latveria, witness the complete untold story of Victor Von Doom. When a Roma child loses his sorceress mother to dark forces and watches his people suffer under a tyrant's rule, he makes a choice: master both science and sorcery, no matter the cost. His obsession leads to a catastrophic experiment, a fateful rivalry with Reed Richards, and ultimately the bloody conquest of an entire nation.
This story comes from Doom's own lips as he recounts his life to a journalist—but those who witnessed these events tell a very different tale. The truth lies somewhere between his ego and their fear.
This is the sweeping tragedy that reveals why Victor Von Doom’s vanity consumes him and why he believes his dictatorship is justified . Perfect for MCU fans, readers who want to understand Marvel's most complex villain, and anyone who loves Brubaker's character-driven storytelling.
Love Brubaker's morally complex character work? Discover his legendary Captain America run featuring the Winter Soldier (now a cornerstone of the MCU), his noir masterpiece Daredevil with artist Michael Lark, or his acclaimed Immortal Iron Fist with Matt Fraction and David Aja.
