Way back in the ’70s, around the same time I wrote those Mighty Marvel Superheroes Fun Books and The Captain Midnight Action Book for Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, Sol Brodsky commissioned me to write an Incredible Hulk coloring book.

I wrote it, got paid for it … and then never heard anything about it again. I never knew whether the project had been published or abandoned. I always wondered what happened, though, because I’m a completist of my own work, and so I’d occasionally search online for any mention of the thing. I never had any success, though, and hadn’t thought about the book for years.

But then a few days ago, The Marvel Age of Comics linked to a cover over at The Vintage Toy Archive, and the mystery was over. My script for an Incredible Hulk coloring book had gotten published.

At, least … I think it was my script that got used for that 1977 coloring book. I no longer own a copy of the script, and have only vague memories of the plot. Did I write about the Hulk visiting the circus? I think I did, and seem to recall a circus, but I can’t be quite sure. It would make sense, considering the character’s history with the Ringmaster. But it could be only a false memory at this point.

No way to fully solve the mystery until I get my hands on the book itself, or find a site where someone has uploaded all the interior pages. Either of those should spark a few memories. At least I hope they would.

But considering it’s taken 33 years before I came across even this small crumb of proof, I’m not holding my breath. If you’ve got a copy and can help me out, though, let me know, OK?
