Chris Allan cover on coloring book?

stansimpson · 03-28-2007, 09:24 AM

Hi! I'm new to the forum. I was just wondering if anyone could validate something I saw some time ago (like 1995). It was a coloring book (maybe a paint book), but instead of the cover having the super cartoony Turtles, it was the Chris Allan kind of Turtles (Chris Allan penciled like most of the last 20 or 30 issues of the Archie series TMNT comics and is best known for his Ninjarar designs). I don't remember if the inside pages were done by him, but the cover definitely was.

Does this exist, or am I just making this up?

I think you're probably thinking of this book:

It's not a true coloring book, but I'm not aware of an actual coloring book that Chris penciled. The timing for this book would be about right for what you mentioned, though.

There were also these two books from the same company:

These books are fully illustrated. The gimmick was that each page has a plastic disc on it - if you have the player that can read the discs (an additional purchase, of course) you can listen to the story being read, with a full voice cast. I never did get the player, though, so I've never been able to listen to them.

O! While were on this subject, theres something I've been trying to dig up for a while. It might have been done by Chris Allen but I honestly dont remember. I had a childrens kinda story book, and basically all I remember were the turtles being in some kind of fun house or something with mirrors everywhere and different versions of the Shredder being in all the mirrors. Anyone know what I'm talking about ?

That would be the first book I posted a picture of.

Thats what I was starting to think after that post! I was starting to recognize the cover, but i just dont remember it having all the sounds n such. Probably one of my most fond tmnt memories. If you get a chance any time soon, do you think you can post some pics of the inside roseangelo?

It only took 10 years, but I finally got my own copy (still on the lookout for that Yes Interactive Storybook):
