Dune Activity Book (1984), Grosset & Dunlop. A local half price book chain just added piles of these to their inventory, meaning they found a stash of unsold Dune merchandise 30 years later. I’ve already looked at the (wrongheaded) Dune colouring books before but they’re so freaking […]
The Black Hole: Sticker Activity Book (1979), Whitman. This book is very dear to me, as a kid I got sick, “Miss a whole month of school” sick and my parents bought me a pack containing every Whitman Black Hole tie in to help pass the time. […]
The Six Million Dollar Man: Coloring Book By Saalfield (1975), I’ve done Six Million Dollar Man books before by Saalfield, but I always enjoy another dip into the Bionic Craze. Colouring books are usually a mixed bag depending on what reference materials they give the artist, this may be the first time […]
Star Trek: Coloring Book By Saalfield (1975), Another submission from the very generous Tracy, this is the fifth time I’ve covered Star Trek on CBT and I do so because a) they are mostly terrible and b) I like terrible. This book by Saalfield is head and […]
Mork from Ork: An Outer Space Activity Book (1979), Grosset and Dunlop. This month I received a box of joy from Tracy, who generously donated some colouring books so that I could share them with the world. I thought I’d open with this remind of when “Mork Mania” briefly […]
The Lord of the Rings (1979), Whitman (Editor’s note Today’s submission provided and authored by Kurt, who has graciously us provided a glimpse into this neat book- Take it away Kurt!) I have very nostalgic feelings for Ralph Bakshi’s The Lord of the Rings. It reminds me of the Age of the Video Store – […]
Battlestar Galactica: Adventure Activiy Book by Grosset and Dunlap I stumbled on this book over the holidays and that’s good because i didn’t know it even existed prior to that. The artwork is credited to Tony Tallarico, a busy guy in comics and coloring books in the 60s and 70s (most famously for drawing those […]
I fondly remember getting the Spider-Man Vs Man Wolf book on Christmas eve 1978, it helped me pass the time until we got to the bigger presents. I’d like to reunite with it but I do worry that it will start a new obsession. That Star Trek one is calling to me…..
The Amazing Spider-Man: “Star Trek Color and Activity book” by Merrigold Press If anybody has been reading the blog, you’ll know I pretty much adore Star Trek coloring books, mostly because a) They’re terrible and b) often hilarious (see this for more) When I bought this book it seemed familiar but I swore I’d never […]
The Amazing Spider-Man: “Spider-Man Unmasked” by Marvel Books Recently a reader commented that I have never met a colouring book I didn’t hate. He was kidding but it did strike me that even though everything I do is done out of love, it does seem like i love to crap on them. I’ll counter that […]
