History of Miss Fury:
Miss Fury is a fictional superhero from the Golden Age of Comics. She first appeared on April 6, 1941, as a Sunday comic strip distributed by the Bell Syndicate, and created by artist Tarpé Mills.[1][2] Originally called The Black Fury, the strip’s title was changed to Miss Fury in November 1941.[3]
The character’s real identity is wealthy socialite Marla Drake. She has no innate superpowers, but gains increased strength and speed when she dons a special skintight catsuit when fighting crime. The panther skin was bequeathed to her by her uncle, who said that it was used by an African witch doctor in voodoo ceremonies.[4]
Miss Fury combats several recurring villains, including mad scientist Diman Saraf and Nazi agents Baroness Erica Von Kampf and General Bruno.[5] Drake was also involved in a love triangle with her former fiancé, Gary Hale, and Detective Dan Carey.[2] A complicated figure, Marla doesn’t seem to like being a superhero, resenting the need for a secret identity and the danger it poses.[5] She is sometimes accompanied by an albino Brazilian named Albino Joe.[6]
Although Miss Fury was popular, the revealing outfits worn by the female characters provoked some controversy at the time. When Marla Drake was drawn wearing a bikini in 1947, 37 newspapers dropped the strip in response.[1] The Miss Fury strip ran until 1952.
Marvel Comics (then known as Timely Comics) reprinted her Sunday strips in comic book form from 1942 to 1946 in eight issues published from Winter 1942 to Winter 1945.
