Fantastic Four #58

Doctor Doom looms triumphantly above a scene of rubble and smoke, cape billowing, while the full Fantastic Four — Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Human Torch, and the Thing — face him from below in a moment dripping with tension. Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott's cover work crackles with that unmistakable 1967 Marvel energy, framing the team against destruction under the ominous headline "The Dismal Dregs of Defeat!" Stan Lee and Kirby were at the height of their collaborative power here, making this January issue a vivid snapshot of Marvel's most celebrated rivalry at full throttle.
