Modeling with Millie #25

The cover of this September 1963 Marvel release sets up a wonderfully dramatic moment at what appears to be a modeling agency, where a blonde woman in a striking red gown refuses the biggest swimsuit ad of the year while a brunette in green and a smirking redhead in purple look on — the story teaser promises "Millie's Dreadful Decision!" with a surprise ending you'll never guess. Stan Goldberg's pencils and Sol Brodsky's inks give the scene a lively, fashion-forward energy that perfectly captures the glamour and rivalry of the modeling world. If you enjoy romance comics with a dash of workplace intrigue, this one delivers the goods right from its cover.
