It'll be an Unexpected find in this box later, but that's probably true for the other books as well.

I'm more of a reader, than a collector: my collection is merely a build-up of reading material; and in that vein my organization would probably make most of you scream in frustration. I was just loading a number of books into a box that could only be described as "recently blogged," so yeah, bit of a crap-shoot. Then, I had double-check to make sure we hadn't seen this one already: from 1982, Unexpected #219, cover by Joe Kubert.

These later DC horror/sci-fi books were also crap-shoots, and the stories aren't A-list this time, but have some early work from a couple artists. Cover story "Boxed In!" finds alien visitors to earth, that find themselves not to scale, and their end is not surprising. (Story by Andy Helfer, pencils by Ric Estrada.) "They Don't Call Him Lucky Sam for Nothing!" is a shaggy dog of a sci-fi story, as a tramp spaceman signs a bum contract with an alien pirate; but it all turns out in the end for no reason. (Written by Sheldon Mayer, art by Jose Matucenio.)

"A Wild Tale" is told by a future teacher to her incredulous students, of a young girl rescued from an alien planet, who developed shape-changing powers. Could that be true? Well, let's just say nobody messes around in that class. (Story by George Kashdan, pencils by Trevor Von Eeden, inks by Ricardo Villamonte.) Lastly, in "Dust Devil," a small town in the Depression, on the verge of collapse, is offered an out by a devil. To make sure they don't get "a pig in a poke," one man asks for a trial period, and is given 12 hours to try their promised prosperity out. Kind of like the small-alien story; you pretty much know where this one's going; but it's got early Keith Giffen art that shows his Kirby influences. (Story by Gary Cohn.) 

Not a great one, but okay. I am blogging the cover though; so I don't buy it again! I feel like that cover's kind of well-recognized, probably seen by way more people than read this.
