Cover looks like Will Eisner, as well as some of the poses inside. Anybody have info on these?

Both of these Captain Video coloring books do appear to have Eisner covers, though nothing inside. Very surprising! I'm guessing it was a commercial job done through his advertising studio. The coloring book came out in 1953, a year after Eisner quit The Spirit and was working on PS magazine for the army, another commercial venture.

A little more checking reveals that RCA records was indeed one of Eisner's clients for his American Visuals company in the early 50s.

I saw the audio uploaded elsewhere for the Captain Video and the Captives Of Saturn coloring book (its on youtube). Does anyone have a link for the audio for this coloring book?
Great work on the scanning.
