Millie the Model Comics #113

Marvel's beloved "Blonde Bombshell" Millie is front and center on this March 1963 issue, caught mid-fitting as a photographer, a seamstress kneeling at her hem, and a dark-haired assistant all crowd around her while she pleads for the ordeal to end sooner. Stan Goldberg's cover art captures the cheerful chaos of the modeling world perfectly, with a bystander peering through the Hanover Model Agency doorway and wistfully imagining that Millie's job is nothing but effortless glamour. It's a warmly funny snapshot of the gap between how modeling looks from the outside and the exhausting reality Millie knows all too well.
