Millie the Model was Marvel's longest running humor title, beginning in 1040. Millie, sometimes The Blonde Bombshell or Millie the Marvel was CEO of Millie's Models, a former actress, and former showgirl with Sherry's Showgirls. She is a talented model, actress and business executive. It was said that her beauty could drive any man to distraction. Wow, distraction. I wonder if she learned that in her high school and some college education.
Millie existed during the Golden Age of Comics (1930s-1940s) when women in comics were not often superheroines, but usually career gals, romance-story heroines, or perky teenagers. Career characters were cast into female dominated professions for the time: nurse, secretary, model, and teacher. Other "career women" include Tessie the Typist and Nellie the Nurse.
