Right on the heels of The Adventures of Mr. Jigsaw, Vol 1 (see Jan '20 post) comes a second edition of the Man of Many Parts' early years, courtesy of Rob Davis' Redbud Studio.
The content is written by Jiggy's creator, Ron Fortier, accompanied by Gary Kato's awesome artwork and includes "American Sidekicks"; "The Bully and the Knight"; "Charlie's Best Friend"; and "The Phantom of Studio-B" (a tale sure to please all famous-monster fans). Each entry bounces with glee and also a staunch sense of doing good, which the world so often needs.
As nifty bonuses, Vol 2 features pin-ups, a photo album and a fantastic foreword by Tony Isabella, acclaimed author of "1,000 Comics You Must Read", who offers insightful reflections on Jiggy's manifestation.

Thanks to creator/writer Ron Fortier and Rob Davis' Redbud Studio, The Adventures of Mister Jigsaw #1 has hit print and presents the superhero's earliest adventures.

Boltz", "A Day in the Park", "Up on the Rooftops", "Secret Identity" and "The Icemen Cometh", each brought to detailed life by faithful Jiggy artist Gary Kato. The stories are breezy, dynamic and above all, brimming of cheer. (Issue #1 also includes a "Just for Laughs" overview by Fortier on how Mr. Jigsaw came to be.)
