Chili #21

Chili strikes her most triumphant pose on the cover of this 1973 Marvel gem, suited up in a white spacesuit and declaring herself "the first girl on the moon!" — while a bustling supermarket scene improbably materializes in the lunar background behind her. Stan Goldberg's cover art (inked by Goldberg and John Verpoorten) captures the character's irrepressible personality perfectly, arms spread wide with sheer delight at her out-of-this-world moment. Subtitled "Millie's Red-Headed Rival," this issue promises the kind of breezy, comedic charm that made Marvel's humor titles a welcome change of pace from caped crusaders.
