Cursitor Doom

Few characters carry a name quite as deliciously ominous as Cursitor Doom, who made his eerie entrance in the pages of Smash! back in 1969, a product of the Silver Age and the atmospheric craft of the Francisco Solano Lopez Studio. Though the catalog records only a handful of appearances, those issues place him in remarkable company — sharing pages with the likes of Judge Dredd and Hawk across Smash! and the legendary 2000 AD. The fact that his presence stretches from the late sixties all the way to 2025 under the Rebellion banner makes Cursitor Doom a quietly persistent figure, the kind of cult discovery that rewards the dedicated digger willing to chase down his rare appearances through decades of British comics history.
