Millie the Model Comics #80

Dan DeCarlo's cover for this 1957 Atlas humor comic captures "the Blonde Bombshell" Millie striding confidently down a sunny sidewalk in a bold red-and-black striped dress, blue fur stole, and matching hat and boots — turning every head in sight. Behind her, a group of onlookers including a wide-eyed young woman, a red-haired fellow, a bemused police officer, and another bystander can barely contain their reactions, with the cover quipping, "When Millie buys a new outfit she wants people to SEE it!" It's a charming, lighthearted snapshot of mid-1950s fashion comedy that showcases exactly why Millie the Model had such enduring appeal.
