The Unexpected #111

DC's long-running anthology of dread serves up another unsettling chapter with this 1969 issue, its Nick Cardy cover demanding the question: "Have You the Nerve to Face… the Unexpected?" A wild-haired, green-skinned specter looms over a massive Wheel of Misfortune — marked with ominous symbols including a noose and an anchor — while a terrified man in blue stumbles helplessly through swirling clouds below, unable to escape his decreed fate. Inside, George Kashdan and Jack Sparling bring their talents to "Mission Into Eternity!", promising the kind of eerie, imaginative storytelling that made this title a staple of late-'60s DC horror anthologies.
