Because you asked for it (when I thought you knew better --), Poncho Press is proud to announce the upcomingescapedebut of The BIZARRO COLORING ALBUM. This fanzine will feature dozens and dozens of illustrations from your favorite BIZARRO 7 stories, with almost no text to distract you. You can use them as pin-ups, or amuse yourself by creating color masterpieces, embroidery patters, or wrapping yesterday's fries. The zine will be spiral-bound for easy opening... and each and every one of the first hundred copies sold will come with your very own box of crayons! Such a deal! Plus, THE BIZARRO COLORING ALBUM will also feature brand-new art, created especially for this portfolio, with some of your BIZARRO favorites! DUE FOR RELEASE THIS SUMMER... to makes sure you don't miss out, simple send a self-addressed, stamped #10 envelope. When the zine is ready, you'll be the first to know!
From the zine:
My thanks to all the editors who granted specific written permission to reproduce and reprint these illustrations from earlier issues of their own fanzines: Deb Walsh, Leigh Arnold, Ann Wortham, Mary Fall Wardell, and all the rest.
Reactions and Reviews: Issue 1
"The Bizzaro Coloring Album" is finally out! And I enjoyed/am enjoying it very much. The contents are a combination of story illos, filler illos, illos from various convention flyers, and some brand new Bizzaro-type illos. All of them are done in Rosenthal's best Bizzaro style. I do have a confession to make, I haven't colored any of them yet, because each time I pick up the book I start laughing again. [1]
