Millie the Model Comics #135

Mid-sixties Marvel fashion fun is in full swing with Millie the Model #135, where the cover — penciled and inked by Stan Goldberg with inks by Frank Giacoia — places the "Blonde Bombshell" herself front and center on a discotheque dance floor, her fringed dress swirling as a mop-topped band strums guitars behind her and well-dressed partygoers look on. The cover boldly promises she's about to meet the Gears — a band billed as "cooler than the Beatles, kookier than the Kinks" — in the story "What's Happening, Baby?" This is a wonderfully breezy snapshot of 1966 pop culture, capturing the era's obsession with mod fashion, live music, and the irresistible energy of the dance scene.
