The Unexpected #112

DC's long-running anthology of dread delivers another unsettling chapter with this 1969 issue, featuring a striking cover by Neal Adams — a menacing figure in yellow trousers stands triumphant atop a rocky perch, arms raised and fists clenched, surrounded by a horde of ghoulish green figures clawing from the shadows as he declares he has absorbed the world's evil and intends to crush it. Inside, writer Dave Wood and artist Pat Boyette bring the tale of "The Brain Robbers!" to life, promising the kind of eerie, imaginative storytelling that made The Unexpected a staple of DC's mystery line.
