Millie the Model Comics #4

From 1947, this fourth issue of Marvel's Millie the Model Comics captures the glamorous — and comedic — world of professional modeling in perfect period style. The cover by Ken Bald says it all: a confident, beaming Millie poses in a "Bixby Bathing Suit" sash and swimsuit while two bundled-up, visibly miserable photographers brave the snow and freezing cold to get the shot, surrounded by equipment and drifting flurries. It's a wonderfully playful scene that balances Millie's breezy charm against the shivering chaos behind the camera, all for just a dime.
