“Destruction of the Earth”

In "Destruction of the Earth," a 1950 EC classic, a gardener pauses mid-trim when a professor stops him with a startling tale: after inventing a machine to hear plants, he discovered they scream in agony when harmed. Written by Roald Dahl and Harvey Kurtzman, with art and inks by Kurtzman and letters by Jim Wroten, this eerie story blends scientific curiosity with a haunting, nature-based warning. The cover by Al Feldstein captures the unsettling mood, a 10-cent glimpse into a world where the silent world may be screaming.

As a gardener is about to trim a hedge, a professor stops him and tells him the story as to why he shouldn't do any trimming. It seems he developed a machine that could allow him to actually hear trees, flowers and other such vegetation, and that when anything happened to any of these things, they would cry out in pain!
