The Unexpected #204 - Don Newton art, Joe Kubert cover

Joe Kubert

The Unexpected v1 #204, 1980 - A young couple runs afoul of a jealous female conjurer and her flirtatious magician lover. Don Newton's opening page is innocuous, but quickly transitions into a sequence of brilliantly fluid layouts. The story's mystical themes allow for scenes that are almost dream-like and fantastical. Although Newton's first and last pages are merely adequate, the rest is exceptionally and appropriately rendered. Joe Kubert's cover just meets expectations. Other artists in this copper age comic include John Calnan, Bo Hampton and C.F. Payne. This is 1 of 7 Unexpected issues by Kubert and 1 of 1 Unexpected issues by Newton.
