Actually, this is one of the cooler coloring books I've ever seen--due in large part to the pinup girls! Why didn't anybody else think of that? |
|
It's strange how wildly the art style varies from page to page. Obviously several different artists worked on it, some rather realistic, others very cartoony. Were some of these taken from comic book panels? In some drawings the Captain is just plain off-model. I suppose the early date (1941) might offer a partial explanation. It seemed to have taken a while for Fawcett to settle on the Beck, Costanza & Co. style as the standard. |

There are a few pages that came from covers. I recognized the more famous ones. |

Gracias por su enorme trabajo y por este regalo. |

I just found one of these at an estate sale but it is best up. I can find very little info on this book and can't find any on eBay. Is this book rare? |
|
This is a great find, and such a nice crisp scan, too!
I don't usually think of Fawcett when the term "Good Girl Art" comes to mind, but Beautia definitely qualifies! |
