Modeling with Millie #43

This November 1965 Marvel charmer puts Millie front and center in a split-panel cover by Stan Goldberg — on the left she poses elegantly in a rose gown and long gloves, and on the right, tears streaming, she confesses to Randy that she simply can't smile while her heart is broken over someone called Clicker. The cover's tagline — "How can anyone as lovely as Millie be so desperately unhappy?" — sets up the story "When Sweethearts Part!" with just the right mix of glamour and genuine heartache. Romance fans who enjoyed Marvel's lighthearted fashion comics in the mid-'60s will find this issue a warm, visually appealing slice of the era.
