Received mine today. Gorgeous artwork and a fun story. I'm going to get another to keep and I'm going to colour the Hell out of this copy! More colouring books please, John! I was irked by a couple of typos that I think should have been caught.

I checked my nearest Barnes and Noble, and they told me they had ten copies in-store, but all were reserved. Didn't think to ask if they were all for the same customer!

One last present under the tree.
I've been saving this one just for New Years Eve.
Hoping to recapture some of that magic of when I happily stumbled across the She-Hulk preview in Marvel Comic Presents back on NYE 1988(!)
Thanks for the memories, JB.

Got mine yesterday! Great cover! Great packaging! Nice "Have Spacesuit Will Travel" sort of book!
I thought the art looked busier than in other coloring books (enjoyed working on the Doctor Who and Harry Potter coloring books with my kids).
Still massively disappointed that, in city as jam-packed with Sci-Fi venues as Sydney, I had to order this via Amazon.com. I hope the "nostalgia" packaging hasn't impacted on the distribution/demand side of biz.

JB, if I may ask a question or few...
So now that the book is on the shelves and under Christmas trees, what is your reflection of the process and output? Was it fun? Do you think you will do another?
Related, would you ever consider doing a Marvel or DC adult coloring book either directly for the publisher or perhaps licensing the characters in order to produce such a book (if such licensing were possible)?
Finally, would you ever turn Stowaway to the Stars into an actual comic series?
Thank you.

Has anyone colored this yet? I'll admit that I'm waiting to see some results before making the purchase -- mostly because I don't know whether to plan to use markers, pencils, crayons, etc.

I still need to buy some kind of coloring device, probably pencils.
I was thinking the other day that this story would make for a great short, animated film.

We could give it to Peter Jackson. He'd get six movies out of it!

One thing I think might be a surprise: when people send in examples of their work coloring the pages, they might make some unusual, even daring color choices. It'll be fun to see how they turn out.
