Bettie Page: Unbound #6

Bettie Page reclines playfully among a sea of vivid red poppies, dressed in a blue-and-white gingham crop top and skirt that cheekily evokes a certain Kansas farm girl — it's a pin-up homage that's hard not to smile at. Cover pencils by John Royle and inks by Jagdish Kumar give the image a lush, sun-drenched warmth that suits the Unbound series perfectly. With David Avallone writing and Julius Ohta on interior art, this sixth issue kicks off "Invasion of the Bettie Snatchers" — a chapter-one title that promises the kind of playful genre mischief this series does so well.
