Bettie`s back and in all kinds of trouble! A low-budget time machine mistakenly transports Bettie to ancient Egypt, where she battles the High Priest of Amon Ra, assorted thugs, and a lovesick mummy twice her size. She wiggles and squirms and bumps and grinds to avoid their evil clutches, but she can`t avoid the inevitable: everyone falls in love with her and she manages to frequently lose her clothes. When Bettie falls for none other than Julius Caesar, the Roman general can`t decide between Bettie and his main squeeze, Cleopatra! Collecting Jim Silke`s outrageous and stunningly illustrated series, as well as his hard-to-find Bettie Page Comics: Spicy Adventure -- not to mention additional pinup art by Dave Stevens!

Bettie Mae Page (April 22, 1923 – December 11, 2008) was an American model who gained notoriety in the 1950s for her pin-up photos. She was often referred to as the "Queen of Pinups": her long jet-black hair, blue eyes, and trademark bangs have influenced artists for generations. A native of Kingsport, Tennessee, Page lived in California in her early adult years before moving to New York City to pursue work as an actress. There, she found work as a model, and she posed for several photographers throughout the 1950s. After years in obscurity, she experienced a resurgence of popularity in the 1980s. After Jim Silke made a large-format comic featuring Page's likeness, in the 1990s Dark Horse Comics published a comic book based on her fictional adventures. Eros Comics published several Bettie Page titles, including the tongue-in-cheek Tor Love Bettie which comically suggested a romance between Page and wrestler-turned-Ed Wood film actor, Tor Johnson.
