“Room for Dying!”

A terrified man scrambles backward in sheer panic as the looming shadow of a skeleton stretches menacingly across the wall behind him — his desperate plea, "No — please! I don't want to die!", says everything about the dread DC's Unexpected delivered in 1975. Luis Dominguez's cover art wrings every ounce of atmosphere from that stark, bone-chilling silhouette, and the tagline "It Takes a Ghost to Scare a Ghost" only deepens the mystery waiting inside. With interior art by Dick Dillin and inks by Vince Colletta on the story "Room for Dying!", this issue is a fine example of DC's horror anthology line firing on all cylinders.
