Millie the Model Comics #69

The cover of this July 1956 Atlas Comics gem sets up a perfectly relatable comedy of errors: Millie and her date have been posing together for twenty minutes while the camera on its tripod sits completely unattended — and he hasn't taken a single shot. Dan DeCarlo's crisp, charming linework captures the duo mid-flirtation, hearts floating in the air as Millie's exasperation and her companion's breezy obliviousness play off each other beautifully. Promising "all new laughs," this tenth-of-a-dollar delight showcases why the Blonde Bombshell's romantic misadventures kept readers smiling throughout the 1950s.
