The Unexpected #143

DC's long-running anthology of eerie tales delivers another unsettling chapter with The Unexpected #143, January 1973. Nick Cardy's cover is genuinely chilling: a horned, wild-eyed figure looms over two fallen victims, sword raised mid-strike, while a speech balloon from one of the prone figures defiantly cries, "You can't kill me no matter how you try! I'll still tell the world you're a murderer!" — a haunting setup for the lead story, "Fear Is a Nameless Voice." Ringing the central scene is an eerie gallery of spectral onlookers — a skeleton, a hooded wraith, and other ghostly figures — lending the whole image the feel of a nightmare audience watching the violence unfold.
