Description

1: Prisoners of Doctor Doom
Dr. Andréa Gilroy (of Books with Pictures Eugene) talks to Douglas about Dr. Doom's first appearance, Fantastic Four #5, by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, as well as its retellings in Fantastic Four #236 and Marvel Age Fantastic Four #5. Topics include Doom's rarely seen pet tiger and vulture, his shark-style helicopter, the historical (or rather ahistorical) origins of Blackbeard, the resemblance of Merlin's gems to Infinity Stones, the total absence of Latveria, and why we are made to assume that Doom is a bad guy.

Comics critic Douglas Wolk ("All of the Marvels") and guests take a weekly trip through the Marvel Comics history of Doctor Doom: hero of Latveria, master of science and sorcery, roboticist supreme, and arch-rival of the Fantastic Four's accursed Reed Richards. The Voice of Latveria is a project of the Cynthia Von Doom Memorial Foundation. Our motto: "We will always tell you the truth... as Doom sees it."
