Secrets of the Unknown #180

Jan 1978 · Alan Class · 0.15 GBP
“I Found the Girl in the Blue Glass Bottle!”

In "I Found the Girl in the Blue Glass Bottle!", Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a mind-bending tale of mystery and dimension-hopping, as fugitive Hugo Cragg stumbles upon a bizarre closet that swallows objects into another realm. With Steve Ditko handling both art and inks, and Jack Kirby's striking cover adding to the intrigue, this 1978 Alan Class issue offers a surreal twist on the classic escape-from-jail trope—where hiding in plain sight might just mean hiding in two dimensions.

After escaping from jail, Hugo Cragg heads for a deserted mansion to hide out until the heat is off. Then he discovers a strange closet in the house: after he puts something into it, the object disappears! He figures that if the objects disappear into another dimension, why not go there himself to hide from the Police? He does, but becomes two-dimensional.
