Seems there's something funny going on in a place called Roswell, and it's up to Bettie to investigate! There's a catch this time, though-the United States military might be putting Bettie on the case, but they can't avow the existence of said case-or Bettie! Instead, our marvelous model is given a crack team of assistants to help her go where no woman has gone before! Fresh off scribing Bettie Page and the Bigfoot Bandits, this spaceship is steered with a purpose by fan-favorite Ani-Mia and illustrated with only the finest stardust by Celor (Hack/Slash vs. Chaos!, Kiss: The Phantom Obsession)! 32 pages, full color.
