Millie the Model Comics #141

Marvel's "Blonde Bombshell" is living it up in swinging London in this September 1966 issue, as Millie throws her arms wide in a dazzling red dress, beads flying, while a mop-topped British band called The Gears backs her up with guitars and drums. Stan Goldberg and Sol Brodsky deliver a cover bursting with Mod-era energy — balloons, streamers, and musical notes filling the air around Millie's joyful, carefree pose. If the cover tagline promises that "Jolly Old London will never be the same," this snapshot of mid-'60s pop culture enthusiasm makes it easy to believe.
