Volume Description

Victor von Doom Reminisces about his childhood, the loss of his mother, and his first visit to the United States. The series follows through Doom's ascending the throne of Latveria.

From the black steppes of Eastern Europe, to the college campuses of New York City, and finally to the throne of Latveria -- this is the life of Von Doom! From his earliest disasters to his scientific triumphs to the tragedy of the fractured man he would become, this is the story you know, and the one that you don’t. The story of the missing years and the journey that shaped the man who would be king. An epic Russian tragedy in comic form, this is unlike any Doom story you’ve ever seen.

With the phenomenal art team of Pablo Raimondi and Mark Farmer, you will witness Doom’s life from his earliest moments to the day he took the throne of Latveria. A dark and revealing examination of how an innocent boy grows up to be a tyrant -- a new twist on an old legend -- BOOKS OF DOOM is a sweeping epic of tragedy, madness and destiny!
