A dramatic and atmospheric piece of Bronze Age horror, this original cover art for Unexpected #218 captures the eerie, suspenseful tone that defined DC’s long-running anthology series. Illustrated by Ernie Colón, known for his expressive figure work and supernatural flair, and inked by Dick Giordano, one of DC’s most accomplished finishers, this piece stands as a strong example of early '80s horror comics just before the genre's shift in tone. A striking visual narrative in a single image—classic DC horror at its peak.
Signed ‘Ernie Colón’ and ‘Dick Giordano’.
