Today in Comics History, February 6: Happy birthday, Mamie Van Doren!
Put on your 3-D glasses because it's time to salute Miss Mamie Van Doren on her birthday today! Mamie's the titular star of Untamed Youth and Girls Town (both spoofed on MST3K), High School Confidential, The Las Vegas Hillbillys (prequel to Hillbillys in a Haunted House), Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women, Sex Kittens Go to College (well, good for them!) and Francis Joins the WACS, but she didn't make many appearances in comic books, unless you count this amalgam gal in a dog-face world blend of her and Brigitte Bardot spotted in Duckburg among the race cars, lasers, and aeroplanes:

I can see how Van Doren could be the titular star of Untamed Youth (she was at the time both young and untamed), but I don't see her as the titular star of Girls Town. I'm not sure she was such a big star that she could have played a whole town.
