New Book on Ben Cooper Halloween

[Brown Bear]

Hi Friends,

I am excited to announce my second publication is in the works. Much like The Wonderful Artwork of Wax Wrappers, this new book will be a visual journey back in time celebrating Ben Cooper Halloween costumes. We all remember trying to breath out of those little nose holes and for many of us, they represent our childhood Halloweens. This book will be a great coffee table addition every October.

And our own Brian H has graciously agreed to write the Forward.

YOU can get involved:

I'm looking for your childhood photos wearing Ben Cooper costumes from Halloween (high resolution preferred). If you have a submission, post here or private message me for my email.

Thanks,
BB

Doug Hazlewood, the inker for DC Comics (Death Of Superman and a whole bunch of other DC Titles) , posted a whole bunch of Halloween outfits the past 2 - 3 weeks on his facebook page. Some he had and some he just saved pics from online sources over the years. I'm a friend of his on facebook. Great person to talk to and a wealth of knowledge on these and other vintage toys. Might want to see if you can friend him on facebook. Very personable and a HUGE music / Beatles fan too. Didn't even know there was a Blue Meanie Halloween costume from Yellow Submarine until he posted a pic of it on his facebook page. Hope that helps.

Thanks, looking forward to it.

A bit surprised I haven't seen more submissions. Would love to feature some of our community friends in the book.
