Colouring Book Theatre: Star Trek

‘Star Trek” by Saalfield (1975) Bit of an milestone today, as we have not only the worst colouring book I have ever seen but the worst bit of Star Trek merchandise ever. Yes, this publication with the nice shot of a slightly inebriated Mr Spock on the cover beats this item and even this item as […]

Colouring Book Theatre: Planet of the Apes Cut and Color Book

‘Planet of the Apes Cut and Color Book” Any childrens publication that uses a nightmarish scene of slave apes gunning down their human tormentors from “Conquest of the Planet of the Apes” is ok in my book. This isn’t your typical colouring book inside either, it’s more of a rainy day craft book filled with […]

Colouring Book Theatre: Kamen Rider

 “Kamen Rider Colouring Book” Back in 1991, I spent about every weekend hitting China Town or Agincourt to find new laser disks or VHS of this cool new show I had discovered. Kamen Rider was that series, in Japan it’s a kids show and the best way to describe it is it’s one part Sid […]

Colouring Book Theatre: Doctor Who

‘Dr Who Colouring Book”If there is one thing that brings me back to being a kid, it’s early seventies Doctor Who especially Jon Pertwee era stuff, he was my Doctor growing up and I both respected and kind of feared him.Later in life I’d get to meet the guy and let me tell you, he […]

Colouring Book Theatre: Buck Rogers

‘Whitman Buck Rogers Color and Activity Book”As much as I love Buck Rogers, I really have to say this is book is a pretty big Fail.Right from the cover you can kind of see that it’s rendered in a hasty style, as if who ever did the art really had to be somewhere and really […]

Colouring Book Theatre: Country Music Wax Museum

As souveniers go, this one almost seems to punish you for visiting. Bless you Rex and take it away…‘Country Music Wax Museum”World-famous Madame Tussauds wax museum offers audiences a chance to examine […]

Colouring Book Theatre: Star Trek Rescue at Raylo

It’s been two months since we’ve had a colouring book to review but this week a kind soul dropped a real doozy into my lap.‘Star Trek Rescue at Raylo” is easily one of the dumbest experiences I’ve had a long while.Despite the Motion Picture cover, the contents are nothing but reprinted materials from the mid […]

Colouring Book Theatre: Raiders of the Lost Ark

Today we have another great segment with our guest reviewer , Jason Lenzi from Bif Bang Pow! who does a far better job than me, so take it away Jason!‘RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK’ Coloring/Activity Book by Happy House, illustrations by Ken Barr, 1981Ok, some years back, I had a massive Indiana Jones collection, one […]

Colouring Book Theatre: The Black Hole

Here’s a colouring book from my past that I found reasonably priced at an antique mall of all places.Books like this are the reason I’m such a big fan of this Disney Sci Fi epic, around the release date I got sick, “scare your parents” sick and was given a huge poly bag of Black […]
