Four Color #309

In "Manhunt," Betty Betz delivers a charming, offbeat slice of 1950s teen life with a twist: when Dollface’s date falls ill, her father’s office colleague, Roger Vandermorgan III, steps in—only to unexpectedly become the evening’s most unlikely prom escort. With Betz handling every aspect of the art and storytelling, this 1951 Four Color issue captures a quiet, humorous moment of teenage awkwardness and unexpected camaraderie, all rendered in her distinctive, expressive style. The cover by Betz perfectly captures the story’s lighthearted tension.
