Today’s colouring book is courtesy fo my friend Steve (update your blog!) who sent me two copies, one with a Rand McNally logo and one with Saalfields. Seeing as the Rand Six Million Dollar Man was kind of dryer than old toast, I’m going to say this was something Saalfield cooked up and Rand starting […]
My Pal Sharry sent me this one based on the classic 70’s TV series. The book is by Rand McNally. the people best known for Road Atlases and the like. You’d think they’d have come up with a kid’s division name but this is back when the company expanded into children’s products. The art in […]
Well, I finally found the often promised, never delivered Superman book so I figured I’d push other stuff out of the way and get to it before I lose it again.This book is marked 1975 but I remember getting it much after the Christopher Reeve movie debuted, I vividly recall colouring in it while watching […]
Still looking for Superman, I found another colouring book, this time in my wife’s stuff.Battle of the Planets was an americanization of a the Japanese series “Gatchaman” removing a lot of the violence and adding an R2-D2 clone to give the show a Star Wars feel. The original series didn’t involve space travel at all, […]
In searching for the now mythis Superman colouring book, I found this oversized Shazam Book. Cover image borrowed from Treasury Comics.com.Shazam was one of my favourite characters as a kid, it probably didn’t hurt that I was like 3 years old when he made his return/merchandising blitz. I got this in a lot of Treasury […]
Turning over the reins to Sharry again this week (as I still can’t find that Superman Coloring Book) and she’s got a doozy based on the Krofft Supershow it’s WonderBug but it also has an intro by the long forgotten Kaptain Kool and the Kongs.Whitman also handled the Krofft Supershow comic (which had Bigfoot and […]
Turning over the reins to the ever talented Rob Kelly, creator of the Aquaman Shrine among many other awesome comic related blogs such as All in Black and White for Seventy Five Cents which explores Warren publications, which is what we have here today. Take it away Rob!Will Eisner’s The Spirit Coloring Book wasn’t the […]
Today’s colouring book was supposed to be Superman but I misplaced that (I tend to do that) so we’ll go with a book based on a little known movie called Star Wars.This book is by Kenner, being the master toy licensor, they left no stone unturned. The book itself is rather bland, there is no […]
Today’s colouring book comes from Sharry aka Hardygirl and it’s one I’m excited to have here.Star Trek was always on when I was growing up thanks to my sister’s obsession with William Shatner, I was convinced as a kid that it was a filmation saturday morning series like Ark 2. In the 70’s most Star […]
Three guesses as to what inspired this book. I’ll give you a hint, it was a movie starring Jeff Bridges and King Kong.This is by Treasure Books and has art by Dell Comics alumni Tony Tallarico (when have you ever seen credit in a colouring book?) This is another from my childhood, I guess never […]
