DC Comics encourages readers to color the covers of their January issues

Playing off the current adult coloring book fad, DC Comics is publishing coloring book themed covers on 24 of their January issues.  These black and white inked covers are perfect for people to have some fun customizing with colored pencils, I guess it's not hip for grownups to use crayons, or are some nice, unique artwork to enhance someone's comic book collection if you leave them as is.

Compared to children's coloring books, adult ones tend to have either much more detailed imagery or contain drawings with sophisticated patterns. Often times the intricate white and black patterns within an adult coloring book are so closely drawn that only the tip of a sharpened colored pencil can fit between the lines making those the creative utensil of choice for many people who have taken up the activity for a hobby.  CLICK HERE for a few suggestions of coloring book selections that A Geek Daddy believes our dad and mom readers will appreciate ranging from dragons to super heroes to under the sea imagery.
