LOL!

I thought the count would be much higher based solely on the rich quantity contained in the majority of your posts. :D
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

Thanks Andy, I appreciate the kind words.

A friend sent this to me and I thought that I would post it here, it's a short story from a comic book that was published the same year that I was born, it's fine for what it is, but you don't have to read it unless you want to.

I thought it was a interesting story, I'm glad you liked it. The friend that sent it to me didn't know what book it was from, but I'm guessing that it was like Tales from the Crypt or something like it.

I had a comic book called 'Head of the family' from the 60s.

One of the monster comic era pulp rags.

It was about somebody's fiancé being introduced to each member of a wealthy family who individually represented a different facet of the human condition, and at the end of the story he met the father who was...A GIANT HEAD!

It scared me when I was little.
All you that doth my grave pass by,

I remember comics like that. My mother bought them for me when we went on cross-country vacations. I still remember some of the stories. One was about a man who gradually realized he was the corpse at the funeral. He was dead but still fully aware.

Murf - The story you're describing reminds me of a episode of Tales from the Darkside called A Case of the Stubborns, starring Christian Slater and Brent Spiner before they were famous.

Andy - Is this the story you're talking about?

It was in the comic Black Magic originally published in the 50s, and republished again in the 70s. I've posted the whole story below so you can read it again, or read it for the first time if it isn't the same story you were remembering.
