Millie the Model Comics #79

Atlas Comics' "Blonde Bombshell" brings her signature charm to this June 1957 issue, with Dan DeCarlo's cover depicting Millie and her beau settled on a picnic blanket — only to discover their romantic outing has a rather unfortunate backdrop: the City Dump. The gag lands perfectly as Millie looks mortified and her date, smitten with hearts floating around him, cheerfully insists there's a beautiful view — meaning her, of course. It's a breezy, lighthearted snapshot of mid-1950s romance comics at their most endearing.
