Oops – Risque Cover Of Bettie Page #1 Ships Without Black Bag

It's unlikely that many retailers will have put out a comic book on the racks with a topless photo on the cover. But just in case, Dynamite Entertainment has let retailers know that they forgot to put a black bag around the Bettie Page #1 Black Bag Photo Cover that came out last week. The black and white cover of Bettie should have been partially obscured by a black bag, to allow it to be stacked on the rack in an American-retailer-friendly fashion. But it somehow got skipped by the production process.

Dynamite tells retailers that "the Bettie Page #1 Black Bag Photo Cover did not ship in a black bag, as solicited. As some nudity is displayed on the cover, retailers are urged to use discretion in offering it to customers."

Here's how Bettie Page #1 Black Bag Photo Cover was solicited

In Shops: Jul 15, 2020 SRP: $10.00

Betty Page was an American model who gained a significant profile in the 1950s for her pin-up photos. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Page lived in California before moving to New York City to pursue work as an actress. There, she found work as a pin-up model, and posed for dozens of photographers throughout the 1950s. After years of obscurity, she experienced a resurgence of popularity in the 1980s. In Dave Stevens' The Rocketeer, Cliff Secord's girlfriend Betty is modelled after Bettie Page and Dynamite has been publishing Bettie Page comic books for a number of years.
