About the series
Marvel (then Timely Comics) published Nellie the Nurse from 1945 to 1952, a lighthearted romance and humor series centered on the titular character’s adventures in and out of the hospital. Stan Lee, Howie Post, and artists including Post, Carl Dorese, and Morris Weiss chronicled the lives of Nellie Nelson, her colleagues Tessie Tender and Georgie, and the romantic entanglements with Speed Murphy and Snazzy Wilks. One of the era’s few ongoing series to spotlight a working woman, it offered a blend of gentle comedy and period charm across its 36-issue run.
