Chili #19

A sunny beach scene sets the stage for this October 1972 Marvel humor gem, with Stan Goldberg's breezy cover art showing two bikini-clad young women — one blonde, one redheaded — spreading their blanket right next to a pair of guys already settled in with a ukulele. The girls' cheerful apology about "crowding" the boys, who look anything but bothered, captures the light, playful comedy that made Chili such a fun corner of Marvel's lineup. With the banner declaring "Millie's Red-Headed Rival!" and a story called "Oo La La!" inside, issue #19 promises a warm, witty summer romp for just twenty cents.
