265   MARILYN-"Laff". Vintage Magazine. 10½ x 13½ (Complete), February, 1950. This vibrant cover depicts a sandy-blonde Marilyn in a classic pin-up pose wearing nothing more than panties, high heels, and set against a leopard skin backdrop. Interestingly, upon closer inspection one can see that Marilyn is in fact topless! Evidently such an occurrence was too risqué for 1950, as a faux top was drawn on later. Very Fine.
Estimated Value $350-500.
