(I originally posted this in Office Party two days ago, and it was suggested I repost it here in Horror.)
A friend of mine loaned a comic book to me in the early 80s, but I don't know who made it, but the memory of it reminds me of the early EC horror comics.
It's about this married couple in their 50s. The husband hates his wife, so he kills her. She had a favorite tree in the yard, so he buries her next to it. A year later a new "fruit" bears on the tree in the shape of hands. So, now there are hands growing all over the tree like apples. He gets close to the tree one day and the hands grab him and kill him, then dig a hole next to his wife's grave and buries him there. The next year a "new fruit" grows on the tree, this fruit is the husband and wife's heads, side by side. That occurs in the last panel. It's an extremely creepy image that's haunted me for years.
It's a weird, twisted story that I can't forget. Does anyone remember having read it? If so, what was it?
And where can I find a copy?
