“You Can't Touch Bottom”

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.

A mysterious jacket has a spell on it that compels any who wear to stuff objects into the bottomless right pocket. A scientist figures he can get rich if he can figure out the secret of the other dimension and tries inserting various objects, even a note attempting to communicate, but he cannot figure out what object the other dimensional beings are looking for. Finally, he sticks his head in attempting to see, and falls all the way in. When the jacket is found the next day, the pocket now has a bottom sewn in.
