New York Times: - On August 26, Marvel Entertainment, the home of Spider-Man, will publish Models, Inc., a mini-series that unites the comic world’s most fashionable characters, including Millicent Collins, a.k.a. Millie the Model (born 1945), and Mary Jane (born 1965), the model-turned-actress who toyed with the heart of Peter Parker (Spider-Man). The runway walkers team up when Millie is accused of murdering a young set designer during New York Fashion Week. (No actual set designer were hurt during the production of the comic; any resemblance to real life super-models is entirely coincidental.) Tim Gunn of “Project Runway” fame will also make an appearance.
The covers of the first two issues, above, manage to send up the alluring (and borderline desperate) cover lines found on some women’s magazines, but also include inside jokes that will make comic book geeks happy. (One of the best blurbs: “How to fight crime AND fat.”)
Marvel is hoping to give away copies of the first issue of Models Inc. at New York Fashion Week in September. Will it be the hot freebie of the season? Anything is possible.

As ridiculous as this seems, I will admit I'm a sucker for comic stories as viewed through a "realistic" lens. I remember in 1992, Marvel comics came out with a Marvel Year in Review, which was a Daily Bugle piece (I think) which had news stories about the various events that had happened and a "Who's Hot, Who's Not" piece by the Wasp were she critiqued the style choices of several superheroes.
