I'm sure Kurt Busiek threw him Avengers Forever when one of the time-traveling Avengers went to the Old West.

I'm sure Kurt Busiek threw him Avengers Forever when one of the time-traveling Avengers went to the Old West. Yes. It's a reference to a previous Avengers story, which is why the Songbird, Hawkeye, and Yellowjacket have to run away. Their presence would screw up the original events.
Two-Gun and the rest of the Western heroes also show up in "Lost in Space-Time" in WCA, one of my favorite Avengers epics.

Don't forget Dr. Droom in Amazing Adventures #1 to #6. They brought him back as Dr. Druid in the 1970s and eventually put him in the Avengers. And Patsy Walker! She eventually appeared in Amazing Adventures (a different series entirely) with The Beast and ended up being Hellcat in Avengers and The Defenders, and I think she married Daimon Hellstrom. She did in JM DeMatteis' Defenders 125. Even Buzz Baxter returns as a lame supervillain named "Mad Dog" to spoil the wedding.

I keep hoping for collections of some of this stuff. I can't see me ever quite working up the gumption to track down huge runs of Millie the Model, but I'd love to read it.

Stick to the Superheroes, IMO... the few and far between crossovers with the western heroes in their books won't really be missed. Though 'Lost in Space Time' is a great story, but I've never read any Marvel westerns and I still enjoyed it very much

Agreed with MRP. I watched 42 Charlie Chan movies but drew the line with the cartoon series and Peter Ustinov film

I'm not well versed in pre-Archie style Millie...was it all lovey and sappy? I'm a girl and hate that*
*except Titanic, which I saw 25 times in 1997/1998.

Agreed with MRP. I watched 42 Charlie Chan movies but drew the line with the cartoon series and Peter Ustinov film The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan is one of the most hysterically dumb shows ever on Saturday morning TV!
Jodie Foster did voice work for this show!
They had a car that had a control board where each button turned the car into a different vehicle! Ice cream truck, fire engine, dune buggy as needed!
The best part is trying to figure out if the pet is a dog or a cat!
(I can't speak for the Peter Ustinov movie. You may have made the right choice there.)

Hoosier,I bequeath the Chan thread to you for a Chan Clan marathon.Best of luck,enjoy and I'll be reading it There's only 16 episodes. And Keye Luke was the voice of Charlie Chan! (The only Asian actor to portray Charlie Chan in any medium!) (I might do it but I'm not sure how to get access to the episodes. Maybe some of them are on YouTube.)

I think it would be interesting to read them in the context of what else Marvel was putting out at the time. But it's your baby. (I just had a thought that it would be typical for Stan to have a character in Patsy or Millie reading a Marvel comic, but if he did, how would that be explained when they got pulled into the MU?) In Millie the Model #107 (March 1962) Jack Kirby actually makes a cameo (foreshadowing FF Annual #1 perhaps). The conceit is that Millie is recruited to model one of Kirby's monster designs for Kirby to draw. Kirby is drawn, rather unconvincingly, by Stan Goldberg. Kirby apparently creates masks of his creatures before drawing them and requires models to don them. And I always thought Kirby was more spontaneous than that, at least it makes his legendary speed all the more impressive given the time it must have taken to design all those costumes. In the issue, as MDG speculates, Millie is reading a copy of Strange Tales and Clicker is reading Journey into Mystery. Corny, but fun. Attachment Deleted

If one was to be completest, you could wait and read the Dr. Druid stories when they got reprinted in the 70s in Weird Wonder Tales. As I would think that was when the character crossed over from what had been done before into the proper Marvel U.
You could also look at the bronze reprints that Marvel did of the old stuff, which was the first time they were printed in the Marvel Universe era.
