Millie the Model Comics #48

Millie the Model Comics #48 brings the laughs ringside in this charming November 1953 issue, with Dan DeCarlo's cover depicting Millie — stunning in a red dress — seated among a group of gawking, grinning men at a boxing match. A dazed fighter slumps against the ropes in the background while the fellows are clearly far more distracted by Millie than the bout, as the cover's punchy dialogue makes hilariously clear. It's a perfect snapshot of the breezy, good-natured humor that made "The Blonde Bombshell" one of comics' most enjoyable ongoing series of the era.
