“Dear Senator”

DC's long-running anthology of chills and surprises reaches issue #217 with a cover by Ernie Colón and Dick Giordano that immediately commands attention: a haggard astronaut in a worn spacesuit sits hunched among crumbling ruins, pointing directly at the reader with an unsettling intensity. That weathered face and accusing gesture set a perfectly eerie tone for the anthology's promise of the strange and unsettling, including the interior tale "Dear Senator" brought to life by writer Thomas Sciacca and artist Fred Carrillo.
