Chili #8

From Marvel's humor line comes this December 1969 gem starring Chili, Millie's red-headed rival, who is clearly in her element on this cover — striding confidently down the street in a wide-brimmed hat and green outfit while a cop, a smitten waiter, several lovestruck admirers, and a cameraman all scramble around her in gleeful chaos. Her breezy comeback — "Natch! Why do you think I take this street?" — says everything you need to know about this character's irresistible self-confidence. With cover pencils by Stan Goldberg and inks by Sol Brodsky, and interior work from a creative team that includes Stan Lee, Stan Goldberg, Bill Everett, and letterer Artie Simek, this issue delivers the lighthearted, stylish fun that made Marvel's romance-comedy titles a genuine treat in 1969.
