Betty Boop #2

Part of Blackthorne's "Comic-Strip Preserves" line, this second volume collecting Betty Boop's newspaper strip adventures presents the boop-oop-a-doop girl living her best Hollywood life. The cover captures her center stage — perched on a blue ottoman in her signature pink dress — being pampered by three attendants who tend to her nails and hair, the very picture of a star between scenes. Two inset vignettes round out the glamour: Betty bundled up at a snowy dawn window and zooming along in a pink automobile, a reminder that even off the red carpet, this Hollywood star's adventures are always in motion.
