The first time adult coloring books swept america, they weren't therapeutic... they were satiric. In the early 1960s, the first wave of parody coloring books used the form to mock the culture of the day. Here are five prime examples that took on the politic conflicts of that era. Most of these have been out of print for half a century. JFK Coloring Book - a genuine New York Times-certified best seller, this look at the Kennedy White House, the Kennedy friends, and especially the Kennedy family contains beautiful art by Mort Drucker, master caricaturist from Mad. New Frontier Comic Coloring Book - an all-out attack on the Kennedy administration, produced by Arthur J. Weaver, grandson of a Republican congressman, son of a Republican governor, brother of a Republican congressman and Republican gubernatorial candidate himself, and thus a personal expert on political dynasties. Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev Coloring Book - a look at the notorious but colorful Soviet leader, written by Amram Ducovny, father of actor David Duchovny. Khrushchev's Top Secret Coloring Book - with Gene Shalit on the writing and Jack Davis of Mad fame handling the art, the communists take it on the chin. The John Birch Coloring Book – a poke at the right-wing John Birch Society, who were concerned with communists abroad and communists (real and perceived) at home. "Overall, Cold War Coloring is a remarkable volume. It reminds me of an era I barely understood as a child and clarify those times for me. It’s a perfect gift for coloring book buffs, nostalgia fans and political memorabilia collectors" -- Tony Isabella, Tony's Tips

About Comics is a publisher of comics and comics-related material founded in 1998 by Nat Gertler.[According to Gertler, it is intended to be "[neither] a mainstream comics publisher, nor an alternative comics publisher".The company has published works by such comics writers as Kurt Busiek and Charles M. Schulz, as well as producing books such as Panel One and Panel Two, featuring comic scripts written by a number of top comics writers. Several of About Comics' bestsellers have been works that have been rediscovered and republished, including several books of little-known early comics work by Charles M. Schulz.
