Modeling with Millie #33

The fashion world gets a jolt on this September 1964 cover, as a bold redhead in a green dress — Chili — dramatically announces her resignation from Hanover Models, luggage in hand, while a stunned man in a blue suit pleads with Millie to intervene and a blonde figure looks on in the background. Stan Goldberg's crisp linework and warm color palette give the scene a lively, soap-opera energy that perfectly suits the promised "glamorous, real-life drama" of the story titled "Goodbye to Chili!" Marvel's romance-adjacent comics were doing something genuinely fun in 1964, and this issue looks like a fine example of the genre at its most entertaining.
