Many years ago Adult Swim on Cartoon Network had or released 2 books which came together with a DVD with some media on it which the only name i know it by is the Adult Swim Media Kit, the second kit was called the First Aid Kit, as far as i am aware both of these were either a direct mail type of deal or given out in person at events they had attended but i am unable to confirm, both kits are limited in number (there are no known number counts of this media, but it is estimated to be less than 50 of each).
This is what i know so far:
• Inside the first Media Kit, one of the books and based off a single picture, contains a picture based story of some kind but the rest of the book is uncertain as there are no other images, the other book has a picture of 2 pages, showing to have information regarding shows they were advertising or broadcasting but the rest of the contents is also uncertain, picture here: mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/project_modules/max_1200/1eeded19581861.560408564313e.jpg
• The second Media Kit was made to look like a medical box, contained at least 2 to 4 books or booklets, 2 or 3 flyers, a VHS Tape, a music CD and some sort of folder thing that came in the medical style box, this style lasted for a very very short time (as far as i know, less than 12 months) before changing their branding so to speak, pictures here: thumbs.worthpoint.com/zoom/images2/1/1008/28/adult-swim-first-aid-kit-ridiculously-rare-press_1_d927b2913361d8622e593e8953030968.jpg and d2z00kf51ll94q.cloudfront.net/archive/2003/media/03157D_a.jpg
The current situation as it is, is that it is unknown what individuals have any of these books and other media of which to document and archival, i have no doubt someone will have them but i have searched for many many many hours online and found no one so far that has these items (bar one redditor who has the Media Kit books, but they are not responding/active, and recently have been made aware of someone with the First Aid Kit through a friends acquaintance but is being a Magpie, I.E, has the items but refuses to scan, photograph ect to document it),
I have scoured the Web Archive for anything related, attempted to contact one redditor, some illustrators and artists that work for or have worked for the company and have gotten no response, i even tried contacting Adult Swim themselves and never received a reply.
Ideally recovering the media content inside in HQ scan is preferred for better documentation if at all possible, otherwise photos would have to suffice.
Thanks for your time.
