BETTIE PAGE LOST YEARS HC

(W) Tori Rodriguez

When the documentary Bettie Page Reveals All was released in 2013, it would have been easy to assume we would never again hear directly from the adored icon. Fortunately for Bettie's fans worldwide, a bounty of unreleased Bettie material awaits. For years boxes and file folders of Bettie mementoes have been gathering dust in the closets of Bettie's nephew's house. Ron Brem, a musician living in Bakersfield, California, is the only child of Bettie's beloved sister, Goldie Jane Page. In the years before her death, Goldie carefully curated heaps of incredible family photos, the bulk of which feature Bettie as either the sole subject or part of the shot. None of these hundreds of photos has ever been published until now. Goldie also saved approximately 29 letters from Bettie spanning the years 1949 to 2000, which tell the unknown story of Bettie's "lost years" following her retirement from modeling in 1957.

BEYONDERS #3

(W) Paul Jenkins (A) Wesley St. Claire (CA) Wesley St. Claire

Imagine there was a single, mysterious word, written in English, that found itself scrawled across multiple ancient sites, some of which predate the English language. Imagine that word was the key to possibly solving the greatest treasure hunt of all time. Now, imagine a young boy named Jake finally decoded the meaning of the word and, along with his loyal, one-eyed Welsh Corgi and his increasingly confused partners, went in search of the word's meaning, only to find it leading to multiple treasure troves. Now, imagine that the very book in which you were enjoying this story contained its own awesome treasure-hunt, hidden inside every panel, and you'd have BEYONDERS #3! From Paul Jenkins (ALTERS, Wolverine: Origin, Sentry) and Wesley St. Claire (FUJITSU, Teen Titans) comes the mystery series that can be summed up in one word of its own: AfterShock!
