Millie The Model #187 (Marvel)
Stan Lee (w) Stan Goldberg (a)
Millie The Model is one of Marvel's oldest characters who ran in her own title for 207 issues from 1945 until 1973. It's not a comic I ever considered reading when I was a child. Girls comic innit, well we didn't use that phrase back then but those were very different days.
I picked this up out of interest and thought it was at least by this period designed to compete with Archie and his friends Betty and Veronica who were very successful for one of Marvel's rivals. It underwent a makeover from #154 as you can see from the two covers below.
Th stories are amusing enough and show a different kind of Stan Lee who penned many of her tales. There are 4 stories plus a couple of pinups in this issue. If you like Betty & Veronica then this title may appeal to you!
Millie had some spin-offs and instead of "King Size" issues like the superheroes had "Queen Sized" ones instead. Great stuff might pick up one or two more in the future.
