Mighty Crusaders #1 Laser-Cut Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle

DESCRIPTION
If you’re into puzzles and happen to be a comic book fan, welcome to a slice of heaven; I make these just for you.

You’re looking at a Puzzled Comic, a wooden jigsaw puzzle crafted from a genuine comic book cover. That’s right—it’s a real comic cover…the image on this puzzle isn’t a reproduction, it’s the actual cover of a comic book. It gets even better: the leftover comic book is shipped with the puzzle as proof of authenticity.

The assembled puzzle is secured in a custom cardboard frame and, along with the original comic, is shipped to you in tailor-made packaging. It arrives ready to enjoy or gift to someone incredibly lucky.

ABOUT PUZZLED COMICS
I only create puzzles using affordable comic books. I’d never cut up a highly-graded collectible issue. I choose covers solely based on their graphic appeal and color contrast. Puzzle prices vary according to the number of puzzle pieces and the uniqueness of the cut; the collectibility of a comic has no bearing on the price.

The cover is trimmed, flattened, and thoroughly cleaned. It’s then laminated and carefully mounted onto a composite wood panel using permanent archival adhesive. The mounted comic cover is laser-cut using exclusive puzzle patterns which I design, featuring fully-interlocking matrixes with unique joinery.

I regularly randomize the puzzle matrix to ensure each puzzle receives a unique pattern. Available matrixes range from old-fashioned grids to more-challenging diagonal patterns, and spiral puzzles you’ve possibly never seen before. I often add effects to the matrixes, such as bubbles, pinches, or waves, to enhance the puzzle and make the assembly more challenging.
