Millie the Model Comics #27

Millie the Model Comics #27 brings Marvel's fashionable leading lady to the bright yellow pages of this 1951 52-page issue, with cover art by Dan DeCarlo showcasing Millie in a polka-dot bikini, hands on hips, protesting to a grinning young photographer behind his camera: "I can't see why I have to pose in a bathing suit for this job!" — to which he cheerfully replies, "I can!" The light, breezy humor sets the tone perfectly for a comic that balances glamour with laughs, and Stan Lee's writing promises more of that same charm inside with the story "Monkey Shines!" All of this for just a dime — not a bad deal in 1951.
