** Pre-Order ** Ray's Comic Series - Time Travel No.3 Modern Times - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Ravensburger)

If you enjoy a puzzle that rewards you every time you put a piece down, this one from Ravensburger's Ray's Comic Series is going to keep you very busy indeed. Modern Time is a wonderfully chaotic cartoon scene packed with traffic jams, crashes, boats on canals, a helicopter hovering overhead, ambulances, tractors, and dozens of brilliantly observed characters causing all manner of mayhem in a busy European town.

Artist Ray Nicholson has crammed so much personality into every corner of this image — peek through the windows, spot the chaos unfolding on the canal, and see how many little storylines you can follow. It's one of those puzzles where you keep noticing something new even after you think you've seen it all.

This is No.3 in the four-part Time Travel series, and while it's a thoroughly satisfying build on its own, collect all four and place them side by side to reveal one continuous, hilarious story stretching from the Classical Era all the way to the Future. The bright, bold cartoon style makes sorting a joy — though all those busy street details will still keep you on your toes.

A fantastic choice for fans of Jan Van Haasteren-style puzzles or anyone who loves a scene with a story to tell.
