American Update: Thoroughly Golden Millie!
*Teen Humour Funny Girls: By the mid-1940’s, with superhero sales starting to sag, comics publishers were searching for a new trend, and one such – inspired by newspaper strips such as “Winnie Winkle, the Breadwinner” and “Tillie the Toiler” – was the ‘Funny career girl’ sub-genre, in which a shapely young lady had wacky adventures while trying to earn a crust. Stan Lee and Ruth Atkinson co-created Millie the Model, who went straight into her own series and never looked back, starring in more than 200 issues of her own title as well as innumerable guest-appearances in other series. Here we’ve got 22 new issues to our stock, including some of Millie’s earlier appearances, from #4 (FN £100), through to #110, illustrated by the likes of Ken Bald, Mike Sekowsky, Dan DeCarlo and Stan Goldberg.
