Gay Comics #40

This October 1949 Marvel humor title brings Millie, Tessie, and Nellie to the big city in style. The cover by Dan DeCarlo drops a glamorous blonde in a chic black dress right in the middle of a packed New York sightseeing tour, where an enthusiastic guide with a megaphone is pointing out the Empire State Building towering in the background. It's a breezy, charming snapshot of postwar city fun that shows exactly why these ladies' comics had such a devoted readership at a dime a copy.
