Jigsaw is a Joe Simon-created character and two-issue comic series published by Harvey Comics from September to December 1966.[1]
Developed for Harvey's short-lived superhero line,
The story involves astronaut Gary Jason, who was accidentally killed and then put back together by aliens, who turn him into a living jigsaw puzzle and inform him that he will be their "space agent".[2] In his new form, Jigsaw can stretch his body parts, similar to the popular Quality Comics character Plastic Man.[3]
The unsuccessful Harvey Thriller line ended abruptly with the March 1967 issues, leaving Jigsaw with only two issues. House ads showed the cover to issue #3, but the issue was never published.[4]
