    The Empire Strikes Back and the Spider-Man Oyster bay are two favorites previously mentioned.
    That Big Jim cover makes it look like there may be a temporary truce between Zorak and Jim.
    They've joined forces so they could assist the Public Works department.
    Jim's message on his wrist communicator "It's done P.A.C.K. team, you'll all get to have a shower this morning after all.

      My favorite coloring book was the Monster Gallery!



      I still have the one I colored as a kid. For some reason, I colored the Creature from the Black Lagoon in all different colors. Creature from the Rainbow Lagoon?

        Of course it is! I think you even mentioned that before. I was just dazzled by Jim's helmet hair. That looks a lot like Dan Speigle's Nemesis (with brown hair) from Brave and the Bold.

        That Monster Gallery coloring book is a cut above anything else produced...EVER.

                What a beautiful coloring book cover, Tom! I believe that it's the first time I've seen it.

                  The color of Batman's tights are perfect there.

                    Batman got some really great coloring book covers. I've had that one since childhood as well.

                    I recently picked up this one:



                    And this one has Dick Giordano cover art. Great story about the Joker opening his own McDonald's like fast food chain...keying off one line in the classic Joker Fish story by Englehart and Rogers!



                    I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Brian, Cindy and I talked up a lot of these classic coloring books on an episode of Super Mates.

                    Grab your box of Crayolas and join Chris, Cindy and their special guest, Brian Heiler in a discussion of something every kid kne...

                      I remember having the Star wars one Bruce Banner shows and a Black Stallion coloring book that was about a race in Arabia. It was on a blue cover and showed black stallion standing on its hind legs. Got both of them at a store called Haag's.

                            Nice Sharry! Digging in my Dad's basement a few years back, I found an Isis sticker fun book that belonged to my older sister. It was still in relatively good shape.

                            Love that Robin in The Batcave (with Batman), Chris!
                            Yeah, that cover painting is great. The coloring book ain't half bad, either!

                              I don't remember have many coloring books. But I remember owning a Black Hole coloring book.
                              I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two.

                                Somehow, I ended up with multiples of coloring books quite often. 2 Superfriends. 2 Black Hole.
