Bettie Page

A figure of unmistakable allure rendered for French-language readers, this Bettie Page stepped onto the Modern Age comics scene in 2012 through the creative vision of Leone Frollo and Bernard Joubert for Éditions de l'éveil. Her catalog presence is intimate rather than sprawling — just three appearances across a run stretching toward the close of the 2010s — lending her an air of rare, curated mystique. She surfaces most prominently in Blandice, La Belle Éplorée et autres histoires, a title that hints at a world of dramatic, emotionally charged storytelling. For collectors drawn to European comics artistry and the distinctive sensibility of smaller French publishers, she's a quietly compelling find.
