The Unexpected #126

DC's long-running horror anthology The Unexpected reaches issue #126 with a cover by Nick Cardy that stops you cold: a frail figure in a wheelchair recoils in terror as a robed, scythe-bearing specter looms in an open doorway, the invitation "You Are Cordially Invited— to Die!" posted nearby like the world's most unwelcome calling card. Cardy's atmospheric linework captures both dread and dark wit in equal measure, perfectly setting the tone for a 1971 anthology steeped in the macabre. If you've got the nerve, this one's waiting.
