Millie the Model Comics #42

Millie the Model is in fine form in this May 1953 Atlas Comics entry, where cover artist Dan DeCarlo stages a wonderfully crowded subway-car scene. Millie sits comfortably beside a smitten young man while a flustered fellow in a suit tips his hat and offers his seat — only to get a sharp "mind your own business!" for his trouble — as an older woman and other passengers look on in amusement. It's a charming slice of mid-century city life, full of the breezy wit that made "The Blonde Bombshell" one of comics' most enduring humor heroines.
