The Villainy of Dr. Doom

John Byrne both writes and illustrates this single-issue Marvel special from 1999, a focused character study that examines what truly drives Victor von Doom. Rather than a traditional superhero battle, the story delves into the mind of Latveria's monarch, exploring the twisted code of honor and ambition that defines his villainy. It's a concise, Byrne-crafted portrait that distills decades of Doom's complex history into a compelling, self-contained narrative.
