That is, until F.O.A.M.er Chip Cataldo wrote me to say he had a copy of the coloring book (of course he did, its a Super Powers item...more on that in a moment). Chip helpfully sent two scans of the book, the first (above), showing danged tiny the thing is! That's only about 4-5" high, way smaller than your typical coloring book.

I mentioned above that Chip would have this item because its a piece of Super Powers merchandise. For those of you not familiar with Chip's collection of SP merchandise, here's just a tiny glimpse of it:

Thanks for the scans Chip!

Freaking amazing!
Wow! That massive standee of Aquaman and the lads is pretty sweet.
Super Powers was an awesome range of stuff - and very few have come near to it in range or quality since.
