    We're going to need a bigger crayon




    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.....

    For a second there, I had actually thought you had found a Jaws coloring book. These are cool too, though.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      Is it okay to admit these kind of scared me. They were SO huge. I did have Superman: The Movie and a Batman one with Robin and the Riddler. Maybe it was all the people falling to their deaths and Krypton exploding in widescreen that made me kind of nervous around them?

      Plus...they were a pain in the butt to color! Needing a bigger crayon is right! Thousands of kids have carpel tunnel syndrome as adults because of these!

      I wouldn't mind having that Superman one back, though...

        Decorating my man cave recently, I emptied my childhood trunk to find on the very bottom a giant sized Spider-man Xmas colouring book never used. It was like it was put there and forgotten about.
        It is now proudly displayed.

            I like that the Enterprise gang are visiting an "unchartered" world. I'm sure they meant uncharted, unless it's a planet of rogue accountants.

              That comic Superman cover looks like Ross Andru's stuff, and I'm pretty sure he did the Batman one as well. He drew very "large screen" anyway, so nice choice.

                I remember once one of my former co-workers found an unused Wonder Woman giant coloring book on a giveaway pile on the sidewalk one day and gave it to me. I used to make copies by reducing the size on the copy machine. Unfortunately, when my mom died and the other teacher took over my class, she threw it away.

                Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                  I'd like the Batman & Robin one myself.

                      I remember these, but I cannot remember if I had one or not.

                      I did have those giant sized Spider-Man comics, though.
