"Bettie Page: Unbound #5 - John Royle Black & White Cover Variant 1-in-11 Incentive"
Strike a pose, comic collectors and pin-up aficionados—this is Bettie Page: Unbound #5 with the John Royle Black & White Cover Variant, a 1-in-11 incentive rarer than a Bettie Page photoshoot without a whip! Royle’s stark, sultry sketch has our model-turned-spy looking like she’s ready to charm Einstein or karate-chop Cthulhu, all in glorious monochrome. This isn’t just a comic—it’s a timeless treasure that’ll make your collection pop like a flashbulb in a darkroom. Grab it before it’s gone faster than Bettie dodging a cheesy pickup line!
Highlights:
  • Royle’s Retro Magic: John Royle’s black-and-white virgin cover (no logos, just pure art) is a knockout—Bettie’s poised with that classic ‘50s flair, ready to save the multiverse or at least look fabulous doing it. It’s a 1:11 incentive, so only the savviest shops nabbed it.
  • Scarce as a Bettie Original: With a 1-in-11 ratio, this variant’s tougher to find than a polite alien invasion—perfect for flexing at cons or framing above your Bettie shrine.
  • Multiverse Wrap Party: David Avallone and Julius Ohta close the “Crisis on Infinite Betties” arc—Bettie’s debriefing with Einstein, dodging cosmic creeps, and tying up reality’s loose ends like a pro.
Current Value:
As of April 5, 2025, this B&W beauty’s fetching $20-$30 in Near Mint condition on the secondary market—think eBay or that comic guy who thinks “vintage” means “double the price.” The 1:11 rarity, Royle’s rising star, and Bettie’s pin-up power keep it solid, though it’s not as pricey as some ultra-rare variants yet.
Expected Value Trends & Upcoming Events:
This one’s got staying power—curvier than Bettie’s silhouette! Bettie Page’s Dynamite run keeps sizzling in 2025, and her quirky spy saga has a loyal cult following. SDCC or NYCC could push this to $40-$50 if Royle or Avallone sign copies or drop exclusives. Long term, a Bettie Page film revival (come on, Hollywood!) or a reprint surge could nudge this past $60-$75 by 2027. Snag it now and watch it age like Bettie—timelessly fabulous!
Key Character Appearances:
  • Bettie Page (The Pin-Up Prodigy): She’s fresh off saving the multiverse, now chilling with Einstein to figure out what the heck just happened. She’s all brains, bangs, and badassery.
  • Albert Einstein (The Smart Guy): The prof’s here to unpack the Great Old Ones’ mess with Bettie—because who better to chat physics with than a model spy?
  • Great Old Ones (The Cosmic Crashers): These tentacled terrors are licking their wounds after Bettie’s beatdown—proof even elder gods can’t handle her charm.
Why You Need This:
This isn’t just a comic—it’s a Bettie blockbuster. Royle’s B&W cover is a collector’s dreamboat, perfect for Page fanatics, variant vultures, or anyone who wants to strut some retro swagger. Don’t let it slip away—grab it, slab it, or trade it for a time machine to Bettie’s heyday someday!
