Pin-up from Fantastic Four Annual (1963 series) #1 (September 1963), script by Stan Lee, pencils by Jack Kirby, inks by Sol Brodsky, colors by Stan Goldberg, letters by Artie Simek
When this pin-up was reprinted in Giant Size Super-Stars #1, the inset picture was replaced with some trivia and, to then, a complete checklist of his appearances. Remember when Doom had appeared only 47 times? Me neither.

These info-packed pin-up gallery pages were the forerunners of what would eventually become The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe!

To this day, that remains not only Byrne's career-best drawing of Doctor Doom, but probably the single best drawing of Doctor Doom period.
Nothing? Not even armor? There's a weak point you never see the FF exploit. You'd think Doom would be able to understand the importance of a protective as well as Carrot.
Erm… I see the original page twice rather than the one reprinted in "XXXX". Artie Simek for the win, though, man.
Thanks, Blam! It's been corrected!
