It's just a hard fact of life that more than one man has said: "My wife's gone to hell!" after a few years of marriage. That might have rung true back in the day, but if you ask me, these days women spend more time keeping themselves looking good than ever before.
Not so in this story, "A Pound of Flesh" from MYSTERIOUS ADVENTURES #16 (Story Comics, October 1953), where Herbert, a mechanic and "tinkerer" hatches an idea to bring his wife back to the beauty that she was when he married her. How he does it is seen in the revolting end of the story. The art is reported to have been done by Ross Andru and I think that's a pretty good guess.
