The other day I picked up a small stack of 1960s coloring books and on the back cover of an Alvin and the Chipmunks book was this 1965 ad. Holy burnt sienna that's one neato ad! I always go gaga over photos of vintage newsstands, comic racks and various kids store displays, so this one really is a fun find!
Coloring books were so much fun. Give me a coloring book back when I was a kid and I would be lost for hours trying to color between the lines.
Looks like the boy made a good choice picking out the Superman coloring book. Artist Patrick Owsley has a one in his collection. Click here to see it!

I made a collage of that very Superman coloring book and several others from the interior pages about 20 years ago.
That Superman coloring book is fantastic. Great ad!
Outstanding! What a fantastic find. You're right about Jonny Quest, That's akin to finding Blackbeard's gold; or was that found already. Whatever,Great Blog!
