That sucks. Stevens got me to discover Betty Page as a 10 year old. Bless that man. Bless him.

Seconded.

He may not have always made an honest buck, but he was 100 percent American.

Is that line actually in the comic?

Damn, this is a bad year for comics guys. Colorist Jerry Serpe apparently just passed away as well.

Prankster, I don't know if that line is in the comic or not -- it's been a while -- but when I think of the Rockteer, that and Betty Page are the two things I think of.

I usually think of Neville Sinclair bringing down the house. Or "It's all just part of the show".

This is truly sad news either way.

Kind of ironic that Bettie Page was excised, in spirit, from the movie.

On the other hand, Jennifer Connelly.
