Doom #1

Leonardo Manco's painted cover sets an immediately striking tone: a green-scarved, mask-wearing figure bearing a "D" belt buckle strides forward armed with a blade and sidearm, flanked by a snarling, goggled warrior with a red-streaked mohawk, a flying woman in blue, and a contingent of robed figures receding into a fiery background — all watched over by a pair of ominous red eyes looming above. The story title "Doom Without Armor" hints at a Victor Von Doom stripped of his familiar iron shell and forced to operate in a far grittier, more grounded world. Writer Chuck Dixon and artist Manco launch this Marvel 2000 series with a cast and cover composition that promise high-stakes adventure across what looks like a chaotic, war-torn landscape.
