Millie the Model #140

Marvel Comics • August 1966 • Silver Age

Swinging London. Spy fever. Mod fashion.

This issue captures peak mid-1960s pop culture energy in one absolutely killer Marvel cover.

Featured story:

“Millie -- The Spy Chaser!”

Released during the height of the James Bond craze, this issue leans heavily into the spy-thriller explosion of the era, even directly referencing Goldfinger and Thunderball right on the cover. Millie finds herself wrapped in glamorous intrigue, romance, and espionage-inspired chaos as Marvel blended humor, fashion, and adventure into one of its most stylish non-superhero Silver Age titles.

Millie the Model was one of Marvel’s longest-running humor comics and became a cornerstone of the publisher’s romance/comedy lineup spanning from the Timely/Atlas years into Marvel Comics proper. The series followed Millie Collins and her modeling-world adventures alongside characters like Chili Storm and Toni Turner.

Collector Notes

Millie the Model occupies a unique lane in Marvel history. While superheroes dominated later decades, titles like this were hugely important to Marvel’s expansion during the Silver Age and now stand as colorful snapshots of 1960s culture, fashion, and humor. The Mod/British Invasion influence on this particular issue is especially strong. 🌆
