Cocomalt Big Book of Comics

A single-issue anthology from 1938, Cocomalt Big Book of Comics was a promotional giveaway from Chesler/Dynamic Publications, pairing the malted milk drink with a broad sampling of early funny-animal and adventure strips. Most associated with writer George Nagle and artist Charles Biro, this oversized comic is a compact artifact of the late Golden Age, offering a snapshot of the era's mass-market tie-in publishing before superheroes fully dominated the newsstands.
