What is a 'crossed comic' and how does it differ from a standard comic book?

A 'crossed comic' refers to a comic book that has been physically split or altered in some way, often intentionally as an artistic statement or a form of protest. This can involve cutting, tearing, or otherwise manipulating the pages. Unlike a standard comic book, which is meant to be read sequentially and in its original form, a crossed comic is deconstructed or reinterpreted through alteration. The altered state is often a key element of its meaning and message.
