Well, according to the helpful folk at WIKIPEDIA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalkitos) Kalkitos was:
an art based leisure magazine for children. It was created by The Gillette Company's paper division. Hugely popular in Europe, South East Asia and Central America, they comprised of a printed cardboard scene devoid of people, cars, etc. and a transparent sheet of coloured transfers containing people, vehicles, weapons, explosions or animals.
Sound about right?
It sure was, and I don't know why, but I loved it!
Anyway, about a year ago I went in search of a Kalkitos website... and you wouldn't believe it... I COULD NOT find one!
Sounds blasphemous, doesn't it!
So, I decided to start this as a way of reliving my old Kalkitos childhood.
I have ALOT of Kalkitos myself, why the hell I ever kept them don't ask, but I thought what I night do is share them with the internet community (and the generations) ... I'm going to try and release one at least every month.. so hold on because here comes THE Kalkitos reference site.
