Sean from <\/span>creepsylvania.com<\/strong><\/span><\/a> sent me an awesome surprise this month, a colouring book I’ve actually been looking forward to seeing for years. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Monster Gallery Colouring Book<\/span> <\/a>is an early seventies masterpiece illustrated by Mark Savee (with text by Leah Waskey) and each page is a stunning tribute to a famous monster of either screen or legend.<\/span><\/p>\n

A lot like the Bernie Wrightson Monster Colouring Book <\/span><\/a>we reviewed a while back, this is a real cut <\/span>above the standard fair. It’s beautifully put together and honestly if you owned this, I doubt you’d put crayons to it.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Frankenstein here is a great example of this great art in this book but 70s toy dorks like myself have even more interest in this book for a very specific reason:<\/span> <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Some of Savee’s designs were swiped and used as packaging illustrations for Tomland\/Combex (A UK division of Marx) “Famous Monsters of Legend” Toy Line. I borowed these images from Megolike.com<\/a> where you can oodles of info on these fun Tomland figures.
<\/span>\"\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Tomland Morlock has an ascot for some reason, like a cannibal Mr. Furley<\/span><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

The Yeti figure is a little off model to the artwork.<\/span><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Cyclops, I doubt any royalties were paid to Harryhausen.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Unlike almost every other colouring book I’ve covered here, this one is too good and too much great artwork to cover here, so I’ve created a gallery page highlighting all the great artwork in this fun book, just click here to visit The Monster Gallery<\/strong><\/a> <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Thanks again Sean! This made my week.<\/span><\/div>\n
