Mr. Lady Luck Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 First book of the new year came on Saturday. Nothing earth shaking but a pretty nice copy. This is another one of those great 4 book GGA series. This one does not disapoint with headlights, cross dressing and cool Dave Berg (from MAD magazine) GGA. Down to one issue on it. That's a nice start to the New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

path4play Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 What's the deal with the guys eyes? Saw one of these on eBay and thought someone penciled in the eyes, but researching it seems that is that way it was drawn?

Ricksneatstuff Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) His name is Bobo and from what I've seen I have no explanation for his eyes. The interior is well drawn too. Edited January 12, 2017 by Ricksneatstuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 His name is Bobo and from what I've seen I have no explanation for his eyes. The interior is well drawn too. Maybe he's wearing two sunmonocles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Lady Luck Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 According to Wikipedia, Millie the Model "was created by writer-artist Ruth Atkinson, one of the pioneering women cartoonists in comic books. Following this first issue, subsequent early stories were drawn mostly by Timely staffer Mike Sekowsky." I wish to dispute this claim. I do not believe that Mike Sekowsky had anything to do with early Millie. After the first issue, Millie was mostly written and drawn by Ken Bald - who also drew all her covers up until around issue #15 or #16 (shortly before Dan DeCarlo started drawing Millie). I do not have a copy of Millie #1, but the cover art was clearly drawn by Frank Carin (who drew a lot of other early Timely teen titles such as Patsy Walker, Georgie, Tessie the Typist, Gay, Joker, etc). so I'd bet he did the interior artwork as well. With issue #2, Millie's look was re-invented by Ken Bald. Can anyone with more Millie knowledge confirm or deny any of this? Considering the popularity of the title, I'm surprised there isn't a more accurate database of information. Sources like ComicVine are worthless.

The first issue is a book length origin story of Millie. I can't tell if the cover and interior artwork are by the same artist. Hopefully someone else can. Here's the cover and some interior pages.

Opening splash page That's a beautiful copy, Lotemo! Thanks for sharing. Millie certainly looks a lot more like Millie on the inside than she does on the cover. I don't recognize the interior art at all. I assume it was drawn by creator Ruth Atkinson. The cover is cute in a Patsy Walker sort of way, but I don't think artist Frank Carin knew anything about Millie when he drew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miraclemet Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Teen humor is really getting a boost these days. I cant figure if it's riding the coattails of the Romance boom, or if there's just a general GGA boom/expansion beyond just Baker to now include more "cartoony"GGA like DeCarlo and others.

I've always been into the classic GGA... Torchy, Phantom Lady, the key Fox, Fiction House, and Timely gals... later in life, as my tastes in popular art matured, I began to gravitate towards romance and teen humor- two genres I never cared about as a young "fanboy". I'll bet this phenomenon is happening to many other collectors, too, and we are now seeing it reflected in the marketplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
