If you were given a coloring book, what superhero would you like to color? We hope it is the Hulk, because we are knee deep in a long in depth discussion of The Incredible Hulk Coloring Book: The Dot to Dot Connection published in 1979. We look at every page. We have a used copy so certain pages are colored, but more are left blank. We learn the great story of the Hulk versus the Greenies who try to steal the color green from the Earth. The Greenie...
