Thanks, I have the run from 104 up with a scattering of some of the earlier issues. Just don't have them all scanned in. Here's two more that are good for the season!

And I think this may be my favorite cover of the run!

Hey can anyone tell me who the scary guy in the hood is on older covers of Unexpected (like issue 129)?

 

Destiny

 

doh! I always thought it was Judge Gallows.

 

Perhaps you are right. After checking Wiki, it seems Destiny's first appearance was Weird Mystery Tales 1 (1972). But I seem to recall the hooded figure on Unexpected to have the shackles around his wrist with the book of Destiny, maybe my memory is failing me... hm

I really don't know for sure but since Gallows was in the Unexpected title, I just assumed it was he.

 

I found this link which is kind of interesting for all the horror hosts.

Yeah, I checked there too. I just don't remember Judge Gallows ever having a hood. Perhaps the hooded figure starting on the cover of Unexpected 115 was just a generic figure at first till they worked him in somewhere. (shrug)

This is the rarely seen alternate cover to Unexpected 201.

Sadly, I lost my copy of this one. But I remember reading it at a Meijer Thrifty Acres on the rack while waiting for my mother. I found it so creepy I didn't want it. Years later, I remembered it and got a copy.

 

 

Awesome Brad! Thanks for sharing it.

 

Jayman, those Unexpecteds look great. Excellent covers and condition.
