Millie the Model #197

Marvel's long-running fashion comedy series rolls into a rink-ready situation in this August 1972 issue, with Stan Goldberg's cover capturing Millie on roller skates, wobbling in the arms of a boy she's just met while two amused onlookers keep a delicious secret — he's apparently the star of the roller derby. The speech bubbles crackle with that warm, sitcom-style humor the series does so well, and Goldberg's bright, breezy linework makes the whole scene feel like a snapshot of early-'70s fun. At just 20 cents, this "Groovy Gals and Gags" edition is a cheerful slice of Marvel's lighter side.
