Marilyn #14 November 1959
"Bellissima" kicks off in Marilyn #14, a 1959 5D comic from Amalgamated Press, where Lucy’s secret life as a comic verse writer catches her boss’s eye—literally. When he discovers her playful jabs in verse form, he’s not furious, but oddly intrigued, and instead of firing her, he challenges her to write something more serious to win over his crush, Gloria. Richard Neillands handles both art and inks, bringing Lucy’s witty predicament to life with charm and flair.
