This object documents an in-progress collage assembled from fragments of a recent Justice Society of America issue.

Comic panels were physically cut, torn, and recombined into a dense visual surface. The objective is not narrative continuity but visual signal extraction.

Edges remain visible and irregular to preserve the evidence of physical extraction.

Visible fragments include Doctor Fate, Wonder Woman, Golden Age Flash, Hawkman, combat panels, explosion bursts, civilians, and architectural fragments.

Panels separated in their source layout now collide inside one field. Sequential storytelling collapses into simultaneous action.

One retained speech fragment reads:

“Don’t break out the party hats yet, whiz kid. We have a problem.”

In this composition, it behaves less as dialogue and more as a structural caption.

Materials remain intentionally unflattened. Surface reflection and layer height are part of the object behavior.

Current stage: stable but unfinished. Plausible next moves: mount to board, edge trim, archival scan, or expansion into a larger series.
