Captain Action reveals throwback “Coloring Book”
NYCC Exclusive; A Sketchbook disguised as vintage Coloring Book
Captain Action Enterprises announces another New York Comic Con exclusive: The Captain Action Convention Sketchbook / Coloring Book. Building upon the fan enthusiasm for convention sketchbooks, this 44 page book will feature “Action Artwork” by an impressive collection of comic artists, Including John Byrne, Joe Jusko, Ron Frenz, Ruben Procopio, Steven E. Gordon and Art Thibert.
With a nod to the retro past that the Captain Action so often embraces, this limited edition is designed to evoke the look and feel of a classic 1960’s Coloring Book.
“Captain Action, Dr. Evil and Lady Action are long overdue to star in their own coloring book,” said Ed Catto, a founding partner of Captain Action Enterprises. “From the painted cover to the black-and-white interior images to the corny captions – Its all designed to make the reader feel as if he’s stumbled across a lost coloring book in a forgotten corner of some out-of-the-way antique store.”
Toy and robot collectors will also enjoy select pages featuring other CAE retro properties, including the Zeroids.
This NYCC Limited Edition Convention Exclusive will be sold at the Captain Action booth at the New York Comic Con, and retail for $9.99. The New York Comic Con is held annually at the Javits Center in New York City, and is scheduled for October 10-13th, 2013.
