==Synopsis==
In the fall of 1952, the secret agent Bettie Page was sent to investigate the artist Richard Upton Pickman after one of his paintings depicted the mysterious entity known as "Unsub Ede 17". To defend herself from any extra-dimensional monsters that she may encounter, Page is given a briefcase containing a slip of paper with a chant written on it, as well as an A .22 pistol in case Pickman gets out of hand. Posing as an admirer of his work, Page enters Pickman's house and quickly finds out that he got the ideas for his artwork from the Necronomicon. The two of them get into a brief scuffle before Pickman uses a chant to send both Page and himself to an alternate dimension. There, it was revealed that the identity of "Unsub Ede 17" is actually Yog-Sothoth, who was angered by Pickman for saying his name too many times. As a punishment for his actions, Yog-Sothoth summoned a Shoggoth to devour Pickman. Before the eldritch monster can attack her too, Page recites the chant that she memorized from the piece of paper earlier, sending her back to her home dimension and seemingly ending the threat.
Shortly afterwards, Bettie Page encountered an alien and the Loch Ness Monster while also obtaining one of the five Keys to the Eternal Gates that need to be used to lock the Great Old Ones in their own dark dimension. During her quest to collect the other keys, Page travelled across several alternate realities and took the role of a different alter ego in each one. She first appeared as a barbarian known as "Bettie the Page" in Hyperborea, where she gained superior strength and swordsmanship to defeat Count Vizier, an evil sorcerer who was under the influence of Nyarlathotep. In the next reality, she became a vampire-lady from the planet Vampiron. When the chief inquisitor Benway tried to commit genocide against their race, the Ruling Council of Vampiron attempted to save their world by summoning Yog-Sothoth. In another reality, she became a princess of Xenon and encountered the genocidal Benway again, who ends up summoning Azathoth in order to destroy the the city of the Puru. Finally, she took the form of a tiny fairy who allies herself with a mermaid version of her best friend Melyssa and a group of pirates to fight off Cthulhu. With their help, she successfully used the five keys to banish the Great Old Ones, saving the entire multiverse from destruction and transporting Page back to her home world.
