1st printing. Written by Jim Silke. What a dish! What a doll! What a delinquent! Bettie Page, the definitive pin-up of the fifties men's magazines, finally gets the kind of paper stage she deserves -- a superbly produced hardback book designed to reflect her rise from trash to artistic stardom. "Every picture of Bettie is a knockout," writes Silke, the author and illustrator of the high-adventure series Rascals in Paradise. "Whether she posed with a ball and chain or a teddy bear, whether she wore polka dots or a splash of suntan oil, there is always something being said, some kind of hocus pocus at work." With a meticulously researched text, rare images from his collection of glamour art, unpublished photos by the fabled Bunny Yeager, and a stellar cast of artistic contributors, including Dave Stevens, William George, Frank Frazetta, Marc Westermoe, Mark Schultz, Robert McGinnis, Al Williamson, and himself, Silke chronicles the word of fifties glamour art, its influence on Bettie Page, and Bettie's influence on five generations of artists. Softcover, 9-in. x 11 1/2-in., 96 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $19.95.
