Issue 8
Wally's World! was a weekly geographic and cultural children's magazine that run in 1997. Wally's World! was released in the UK and Australia. Each issue of the educational magazine would focus on a different country or region of the world as Wally (the name Waldo is known as in those markets) traveled the globe. The magazine included facts, trivia, pictures and other information on the location of focus for the issue. Additionally, each issue would featured different games, puzzles and comics based the theme staring Wally and the other support Where's Wally? characters, including a spread based on the locations where the reader is asked to search for Wally (and other objects) among the crowds. The series also featured appearances by Woof, Wenda, Wizard Whitebeard and Odlaw.
The series was published for one year, from January 1997 to January 1998, with 52 issues. Subscribers were given special binders to keep all 52 issues (13 issues per binder); additionally a special "world atlas" sticker album was included with each subscription, and each issue would include special stickers for readers to add to their atlas based on the different locations.
The publication was followed by Wally's History of the World, a similar magazine that ran in 1998 and focused on historical events rather than geography. The first issue of Wally's History of the World was given away for free with the last issue of Wally's World!.
