In "You Can't Touch Bottom," a scientist’s curiosity turns dangerous when he discovers a mysterious jacket with a bottomless right pocket that compels anyone who wears it to stuff objects inside. As he experiments with increasingly strange items—including a note meant to reach the other side—he begins to suspect the pocket leads to another dimension, but the truth proves too much to bear. Ross Andru’s art, inked by Mike Esposito, brings the eerie, escalating tension to life, while Joe Maneely and Carl Burgos deliver a striking cover that hints at the jacket’s unsettling secret.

In "You Can't Touch Bottom," a curious scientist becomes obsessed with a mysterious jacket whose bottomless right pocket seems to pull in anything placed inside. As he experiments, trying to unravel the secret of the pocket’s endless depth, even sending a note into the void, the line between curiosity and consequence begins to blur. When he finally ventures in himself, the jacket is found the next day—with the pocket now permanently sealed.
