The Unexpected #134

A midnight doorway frames a striking woman in red welcoming a parade of ghoulish figures — a hunched, knife-wielding ghoul and a looming shadowy specter among them — while a horrified man peers through the window, asking "What kind of family did I marry into?" Nick Cardy's cover for this 1972 DC anthology perfectly captures that delicious blend of dread and dark humor that made The Unexpected such a compelling horror showcase. At 52 pages for a quarter, issue #134 — featuring Carl Wessler's "The Restless Dead" with art by Jerry Grandenetti — offers a generous helping of the macabre.
