WHISPER September Vol. 6 No. 2 1952 – Peter Driben Cover, Bettie Page Photo
A fantastic September 1952 issue of WHISPER, featuring a gorgeous illustrated cover by legendary pinup artist Peter Driben, plus a surprise interior appearance by Bettie Page!
The colorful cover features a glamorous redhead in fishnet stockings, red heels, and floral accessories, showcasing Driben's unmistakable mid-century pinup style.
Special Bettie Page Appearance!
Inside, there's a photograph of Bettie Page accompanying the sensational adventure story Secret Isle of Lost Gals! The amusing caption reads:
"Tierra del Fuego Indians tell of a beautiful white goddess on an uncharted island round Cape Horn!"
Apparently, even a mysterious lost island near the tip of South America needed Bettie Page! A wonderfully outrageous example of 1950s pulp-magazine storytelling and a fun little discovery for collectors of the iconic pinup queen.
