[MemphisChad]

All,

 

I have and opportunity to pick this book up in VG+ grade for roughly $175 to $200. I don't know a lot about the history of this book. Is is consdered a key? Any insight would be appreciated.

Do you mean Dr.Droom?

[MemphisChad]

Ok, you got me. I guess this will teach me to type an e-mail while on the phone. Yes, Ulti I mean Dr. Doom.... you biatch!

 

By the way I can lay my hands on issues #1 through #15 in 2.0 to 5.0 in case anyone is interested.

Mile High has it in good for $252.50.

Not sure what it goes for in the OS, don't have it with me.

Greetings,

 

Well, it's definitely not Dr. Doom as in Victor Von Doom, but yes the book has significance as an early pre-hero Marvel.

 

Amazing Adventures begat Amazing Adult Fantasy, which begat Amazing Fantasy #15.

But it took a lot of explaining to figure out just who he was

[MemphisChad]

So let me get this straight it's not Victor Von Droom ?

[MemphisChad]

Sorry for the confusion. Not enough sleep last night.

 

Some of you guys are really good, I mean how many people can pull Dr. Droom pics out of their arse in a matter of minutes. I'm humbled

[deathlok]

Marvel created this guy Dr. Droom back in 1961.

 

They then tried to retcon him by saying he was Dr. Druid in the current continuity. They are two different people though. In no way related to Dr. Victor Von Doom of Fantastic Four fame.

[MemphisChad]

Good to know. Thanks Death.

Overstreet says $218 in VG

If you can get for less than $200 then I would say it was a good deal. The only real key about it is that it is a number one issue from 1961. The content is not special enough to warrant any particular attention.
