    Holy cow! How does one even obtain "Whitman Archive File Copies"!?!?

    I have the FF Witch one mint, but looking through, I had about 4 or 5 others growing up that I'd love to re-claim.

    Fantastic collection!

      ^There was a seller on Ebay years back...Golden Treasures I believe. They were selling filing cabinets full of mint unused Whitman and Golden coloring books, sticker books, paint with water books...even the original art for most of these was sold off.
      I bought everything I could afford at the time.

        I loved Whitman!!

        Many of those books I still own bit heavily coloured in by a younger innocent version of me.

            I sold some giant coloring books that I had colored in as a kid at a toy show. Star Trek and Hulk I think. Luckily I had colored them fairly neatly, so they still sold.

              I had a lot of those as a kid, and some of them survived into adulthood. Love the artwork. I think the artist on many of these was the same guy who did most of the work on the Marvel Fun and Games activity/comic.

              Great collection!

                  Does it say who the artists are in the books? I've always been curious to see if guys like Trimpe and Sinnott had anything to do with some of the coloring books. I know Ron Wilson had done one of the puzzles of the Hulk. They are pretty cool.
                  "When not too many people can see we're all the same
                  And because of all their tears,
                  Their eyes can't hope to see
                  The beauty that surrounds them
                  Isn't it a pity".
