Bettie Page: Queen of the Nile

Jim Silke both wrote and painted this single-issue Dark Horse special from 2000, sending the iconic pin-up model Bettie Page on a stylish adventure in Egypt. The book combines vintage glamour with pulp-era mystery, as Bettie finds herself entangled with ancient artifacts and modern danger. Silke’s lush, fully painted artwork gives the story a distinctive, retro-cinematic feel that sets it apart from standard comic fare. It stands as a unique, creator-driven one-shot that captures the enduring appeal of its legendary subject.
