About the character
Victor Von Doom, ruler of Latveria, is Marvel's greatest villain — a brilliant scientist and sorcerer driven by wounded pride and a desire for absolute power. First appeared in Fantastic Four #5 as an instant icon.
What is a first appearance worth?
Fantastic Four #5 has solid collector demand. A presentable raw copy in the UK typically attracts an offer in the low to mid three figures; high-grade or CGC-slabbed examples can push into four figures. Restored copies are worth less but still very much wanted — we buy across all grades and conditions.
