Reading Room WHAM-O GIANT COMICS "Tor and the Man from Aeons"

At 14" wide by 21" high, this 52-page magazine is considered the biggest comic book ever published!
Produced by the Wham-O Toy Company in 1967, this one-shot featured a plethora of never-seen again characters!
Each of these pages by long-time comics Lou Fine is the equivalent of four regular comics pages!

Wham-O intended to do this project as a quarterly book sold in toy stores and via mail subscription, though how they were going to send the comic to home mailboxes without folding it is unknown!
Only the first issue was published, and the various characters (who may have been intended to be future Wham-O toys) disappeared into pop culture oblivion.
