Searching for an OLD story
Hi all - I’ve been looking for the title of a story that still haunts me from over 20 years ago. It might have been part of an EERIE, a CREEPY or even a HEAVY METAL comic and it revolves around a spaceship that is stranded in the middle of nowhere with the crew becoming more and more desperate. After a whole mess of tense buildup, angst and argument they decide to murder the “cabin boy” for the purpose of cannibalism. The boy is a skinny teen with a bald head (?). They eventually cut his throat using a helmet to catch the blood. The final scene is the kicker though as just as the deed is done, a rescue spacecraft pulls up along side.
The artwork was very distinctive, black line and from memory not a lot of shading (which is why I think it might have been in a Heavy Metal) - and had quite an impact on me.
Sorry if the description is vague but like I said - it’s been playing on my mind for quite a while.
Help me r/horrorcomics- you’re my only hope

Not what you're looking for, but that description reminds me of >!Frank Darabont's film adaptation of Stephen King's The Mist!<.
