Bettie Page: Queen of the Nile #2

The second chapter of Jim Silke's three-part Egyptian adventure brings Bettie Page front and center in full ancient-queen regalia — jeweled breastplate, ornate belt, and flowing skirt — her arms outstretched and bound by ropes held by three menacing figures in Egyptian headdresses, a dangling skull adding a genuinely unsettling touch. Dave Stevens' cover art is rendered with the lush, precise linework he was known for, capturing both Bettie's fierce defiance and the pulpy, sword-and-sandal tension of the "Mad Love" storyline. If the first issue left you curious, this one makes a compelling case to see how Silke's story unfolds in the finale.
