by Harvey Kurtzman
Weird Science #14[#3] (1950)
Story swiped from a 1949 Roald Dahl short story "The Sound Machine", Kurtzman does a great job bringing the story to life. It's about a scientist who is obsessed with building a machine that detects sounds beyond the limits of human perception. Hearing mysterious screams he investigates and begins to suspect that the only source must be the suffering plant life. Some great faces on a descent into madness by Kurtzman, and also the framing sequence is an original extrapolation of the Dahl story.
