Millie Had Her Chance (King Kirby 065)

We've seen previously how Jack Kirby was viewed in Patsy Walker's comics as a Romance superstar for whose attention everyone was willing to fight.

What about over at Millie The Model's place? (Yes, kids - once upon a time, comics were created for girls, too) Millie was Patsy's competition, put out by another company called Vista Publications.

Really.

So ignore that little MC over on the right side of the cover. And definitely ignore the fact that the address for Vista Publications is 655 Madison Avenue, the same as the address at the time for Marvel Comics. And, of course, pay no attention to the fact that they're both written by the same person. It's probably just a generic pen name for the industry or something. Nothing more.
So let's see how they treated Jack in this 6 page short, eh?

Well. I guess we can see that Patsy Walker clearly had the better book. No wonder she's the one on TV these days while Millie is all but forgotten.
