The Unexpected #106

DC's long-running anthology of strange tales takes a dramatic turn in this 1968 issue, spotlighting the "Weird World of Johnny Peril" in a story titled "The Doorway into Time!" Howard Purcell and Jack Abel's cover sets an eerie, otherworldly tone: two enormous green alien faces loom over a desperate man cradling a fallen woman amid ancient temple ruins, his anguished cry of "Terah! What have I done to you? Terah!" etched across the purple sky. The tagline — "He destroyed the one thing he loved the most — when he entered The Doorway into Time!" — promises the kind of haunting, twist-laden adventure that made DC's mystery anthologies so compelling in this era.
