Ernie Colon (1931-2019)

Though best known for his Harvey Comics humor work...

...Ernie Colon had an impressive career as a sci-fi/horror/superhero editor/writer/artist as well, including this strip, his first non-humor comics work, in Wham-O Giant Comics (1967), the biggest single comic book in history (21" x 14")!

Ernie penciled and inked the story..and may have written it as well!

We've run a number of his HTF projects including...

The Medusa Chain

Phase 1 "Impact"

Battlestar Galactica "Saga of a Star World"

9/11 Report: the Graphic Adaptation

I have more Ernie Colon original art in my collection than any other artist's work!
He's one of the unappreciated geniuses of the business, and, now, sadly, he's gone!

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.
