because I ask myself that all the time, when seeing retcon-refuse regurgitated rapidly week after week. then i wondered what Doom's 'expression', while glowering upon retcon onanism would be, then pondered how hard an expression would be with the mass of scar tissue he'd have suffered (DID suffer; earlier retcons can S!*k it), then thought Icctrombone might like a raw pencil-progression of attempting to capture that. so here it is, with a 5 cent pencil on 1 cent sheets off a non USA stenographer's pad from 1986. (It had great texture. Unlike anything drawn by Allred). these jpegs are all original size attempting to capture how art looked like before the 1960's shift to 10"x15" original art size. 1, the rough 2, the layout 3, the 1965'ish pencil 'pencils'. I was going to do a more 'finished by current #@@!! standards, but my protege pointed out that in a forum dedicated to love of classic comics, bearing in mind gil kane pencils of the 60's, it would be superfluous.

lol, thx! and i could not resist doing the final '1990-2004' detailed pencil version for you, despite my protege saying #3 was 'enough'. work ethic disallowed that. so i did #4, and although i'm not that happy with it, i hope it'll bring a smile to your face. since sadly the real victor can't ever smile again. For fans of true horror films versus retcon and slasher-garbage, yes, it’s got elements of Dr. Phibes, but that’s in keeping with facial injuries suffered by veterans of WW1 and WW2. Also in keeping with the nature of victor’s cranial and facial injuries as per the device Kirby had illustrated; the blast which disfigured Von Doom came from a machine encircling his entire head, thus the blast would have disfigured his entire head, as opposed to merely the ‘front of his face’. so that is what’s depicted here.

Nice work. That will definitely stay with me the next time is see... DOOM, one of my favorite characters. thank you ictor has been one of my faves since i was 7 years old. the whole retconning thing flabbergasted me, not to mention the most recent FF film, which was horrible to Doom, and which was worse than the goofy Corman one, comparatively.
