The Unexpected #119

DC's long-running horror anthology The Unexpected reaches issue #119 with a cover by Nick Cardy that pulls you straight into dread: a horrified man recoils, sunglasses in hand, as a mysterious dark figure looms at upper left demanding he turn and face what he "promised to love and marry" — the chilling payoff to a wish that cured his blindness. The tagline "Have You the Nerve to Face the Unexpected?" feels earned here, with Cardy's dynamic, shadow-drenched composition perfectly capturing that sick moment when a granted wish reveals its terrible price.
