TomG Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I was recently looking at a copy of Amazing Spider-Man #5 and upon closely looking at Dr. Doom I had to ask a question. Is that Stan as Dr. Doom on the cover? What do you think? The eyes and part of the mask almost look like a mustache. bb8 and KirbyJack 2 Link to post Share on other sites
shadroch Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 The Stan Lee of 1961/62 looked very different from the post-1965 Stan. I'm not sure when he decided to buy his hair and adopt facial hair. Dave2739 1 Link to post Share on other sites
KirbyJack Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I kinda see it! We’d need a 1963 picture of The Man. I don’t think that’s what is going on here, but I kinda see it. FoggyNelson 1 Link to post Share on other sites

MGsimba77 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 It was Ditko sending a very subliminal message Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't 'til later that he bought the wig and grew the 'stache. Edited March 18, 2020 by Dave2739 Link to post Share on other sites

shadroch Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Didn't Kirby draw himself as Dr Doom impersonating Reed? Link to post Share on other sites
TomG Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 Very true about the mustache and hair. The eyes looked very much like his if you looked closely. Link to post Share on other sites
shadroch Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 So we should give Ditko partial creator's credit for Stans makeover? Link to post Share on other sites
