  • Catfights and crossdressers, mad scientists and Gestapo agents with
    swastikas branding irons - it's one lurid and exciting adventure after
    another in this lavish, full-color collection of the first female superhero to
    be created and drawn by a woman. Miss Fury was a sexy adventurer clad in a
    skin-tight panther costume. By day, she was socialite Marla Drake. By night...
    Miss Fury!
  • In the first half of the 20th century, women cartoonists could be found in
    America's newspapers, but Tarpe Mills was one of the few who drew
    adventure comics, and the only one who drew a costumed superheroine. The Miss
    Fury Sunday newspaper strip ran from 1941 until 1952 and had millions of
    readers, among them GIs who painted the beautiful action heroine on the
    nosecones of their bombers.
  • Eisner- and Harvey-nominated writer and historian Trina Robbins has chosen
    the best Miss Fury stories for this oversized collection, which also
    features a biographical essay about Tarpe Mills that places her within
    the history of women cartoonists, and includes pages from an unpublished and
    unfinished Miss Fury graphic novel by Mills from 1979.
