Millie the Model (Marvel Comics) - Comic Cover Art - Framed Picture 12"x16"

Millie the Model was Marvel Comics' longest-running humor title, first published by the company's 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics.

Initially a humorous career-gal book about New York City model Millie Collins, it very quickly evolved into a broader, more slapstick comedy.

The character was created by writer-artist Ruth Atkinson, one of the pioneering women cartoonists in comic books. The character's essential look, however, was the work of future Archie Comics great Dan DeCarlo, who would later create Josie and the Pussycats and other Archie icons.

Millie became part of the Marvel Universe with Fantastic Four Annual #3, which chronicled the wedding of Reed Richards and Susan Storm. Fellow stars Patsy Walker and Hedy Wolfe, among the sidewalk crowd outside, talk about wanting to catch a glimpse of celebrity Millie, whom they've heard is on the guest list.
