I'm working on a web comic site and I'm looking for a plugin to display comics that are in a PDF format. I want to display them similar to a way this website is doing it. http://thrillbent.com/comics/the-dam...ie-wormwood/#1.

Basically so it displays like an ebook. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This isn't PDF. This site is based on WordPress and it's using a "Slideshow" to show the comic. It's actually pretty easy to setup.

Here's the original web developer that created the site. Shooting him an email might clarify how he did it.

Here's the plugin he was probably using: http://momnt.co/downloads/portfolio-slideshow-pro/

This is basically a slideshow with really big images.
Moving from slide to slide gives the illusion of a dynamic comic, but it's really not. It's like old school cell animation.

Here's what I mean...

Here's one slide:

Then here's the next slide:
http://d3m3x6y1fmr7vt.cloudfront.net...6-1100x825.jpg

Each slide "adds" a little to the comic, giving the illusion of movement through panels. In photoshop, this can be done by strategically hiding and unhiding layers.

Hope that helps. I had fun deciphering this technique.
