Jigsaw

(Harvey, 1966)
Harvey

Col. Gary Jason was on an orbital mission, photographing stars from space, when his craft was sucked into a strange magnetic vortex. Although he tried to escape, a fossilized tree (yes, a tree) was also caught in the vortex and speared his ship. Jason was pulled out of his ship and flew into the source of the vortex—an alien base on the moon. The aliens who lived there regretted their inadvertent capture of Col. Jason, and tried to rebuild his shattered body using special elastic materials to reconnect most of his joints, but the result was uneven, leaving him a virtual jigsaw puzzle.

Col. Jason discovered that these alterations gave him super strength, as well as the ability to stretch his limbs to incredible lengths. These powers let him do everything from rounding up circus animals to saving Earth from aliens. Unfortunately, it couldn’t save this series from its outrageous premise. As a result this title ended after just two issues.
