Fantastic Four #5

Doctor Doom dominates this March 1997 cover of Fantastic Four #5, his armored gauntlet thrust forward and a glowing energy source at his chest as he looms menacingly in the foreground. Behind him, Sue Storm, Mr. Fantastic, the Thing, and the Human Torch are rendered in vivid detail, the whole team seemingly caught in Doom's commanding presence. Jim Lee's pencils and Scott Williams' inks make for a striking visual that captures the uneasy tension between Marvel's first family and their greatest adversary.
