Showgirls #2

This Atlas/Marvel gem from 1957 brings together Millie the Model, Sherry, Chili, and the rest of the Showgirls gang in one breezy, lighthearted package. Dan DeCarlo's cover perfectly captures the pre-show chaos — four young women are sprawled and lounging about a dressing room in various states of delightful distraction, knitting, listening to music, and generally ignoring the world, while a flustered man at the door turns away would-be interviewers with the line "Sorry! You can't interview the girls now… they're always bundles of nerves before each show!" It's a charming, witty snapshot of Stan Lee and DeCarlo's playful comedic sensibility that made these characters so endearing to readers of the era.
