“Slayride in July”

DC's long-running anthology of horror and suspense delivers another unsettling chapter with The Unexpected #165, June 1975. Luis Dominguez's cover sets a genuinely chilling scene: a skeletal pirate captain looms from the prow of a dark sailing ship while two terrified young people — a blonde woman and a red-haired man — row frantically away in a small boat, tropical shore just visible in the distance. That tagline, "Have You the Nerve to Face the Unexpected?", feels well-earned when the undead is bearing down on you from the high seas.
