Marvel 1602: Fantastick Four #2

The armored face of Doctor Doom — rendered in haunting detail by cover artist Gabriele Dell'Otto — dominates this second chapter of Marvel's five-part 1602 limited series, his iron mask and glowing red eye framed by a sweeping green cloak that evokes both menace and dark Renaissance grandeur. Set in the Elizabethan world Peter David reimagines for the Fantastick Four, the cover promises that Doom's 17th-century counterpart is every bit as formidable a presence as his modern incarnation. With Pascal Alixe on interior art and Dell'Otto delivering this striking painted cover, issue #2 is a visually compelling entry in one of Marvel's most atmospheric period adventures.
