The Story

Fantastic Four #87 (June 1969) — the Seven Devils of Doom. Doom invites Sue and Crystal to a feast while the rest of the team fights through his castle's deadly traps. He even kills his own assistant for endangering his art collection.

Significance

This issue showcases Doom's complex character: a gracious host to women while ruthlessly testing the men. His twisted sense of honor — killing his own aide over damaged art — reveals the depth of his personality.

Historical Context

Part of the legendary Latveria saga (#84-87), one of the last great Lee/Kirby Doom arcs before Kirby left Marvel. These issues established Latveria as one of the most fully realized fictional nations in comics.

Silver Age

1956-1970

The era that introduced Doctor Doom to Marvel Comics.

Collector Value

A 1/1 Comic Cut from the climax of the Latveria saga. Late Silver Age Lee/Kirby FF issues are increasingly recognized as undervalued masterpieces.
