Another of the AD&D coloring books, bringing us the usual secondary characters from the TV show as well as a gaggle of other AD&D toyline stars, this one also features some art by truly legendary inker Frank Giacoia, a name familiar to anyone who read classic Jack Kirby Captain America or 70s Spider-man comics, being the inker on most of those. Giacoia actually started all the way back in the 1940s, so he’s a veteran from the Golden Age of comics giving us some art, together with Pablo Marcos in these coloring books.

The Rescue of Ringlerun also adds a new factor to these books by adding some puzzles to entertain the kiddies, such as connecting the dots and so forth as you can see in the images above. 

These coloring books were a short lived thing, and I think I have only one more to cover, but its still fun stuff that shows how much D&D was stretching across media by 1983, a mere 9 years after the three brochures that Gygax put out with the basic rules.
