So Miss Fury was the first female superhero drawn by a woman and actually preceded Wonder Woman by a number of months. It was a syndicated strip that appeared in newspapers and the introduction did a great job giving an overview of the strips life, history and how Mills worked at it. The strips start a couple hundred strips in but they do explain her origin so that's not so bad. It doesn't read like a superhero strip in so much as it reads like a soap opera strip that happens to include a superhero. I don't mean it as a negative though. The strip doesn't only follow Miss Fury, it follows many of the villains and other side characters as well. The occasional appearances of Miss Fury were neat, and I do wish there had been more but the mob stuff and soap operaness was interesting enough that I didn't mind so much. The strip also had tons of sex appeal for it's day and the art style speaks to the period it was from. I do wish that more of Mills later graphic novel attempt had been found b/c it looked interesting in the same way Miss Fury was and I felt like her art style really shined there.

Catfights and crossdressers, mad scientists and Gestapo agents with swastika-branding irons-it's one lurid and exciting adventure after another in this lavish, full-color collection of the first female superhero created and drawn by a woman. Miss Fury was a sexy adventurer clad in a skin-tight panther costume-complete with sharp claws on her hands and her feet!By day, she was socialite Marla Drake. By night...Miss Fury. The strip was populated by a cast of memorable characters who were connected to each other by far less than six degrees of separation and whose paths were interwoven like a complicated tapestry. They include-The one-armed general Bruno, a Rommel-esque figure who is a German patriot, but plots to overthrow the Nazi party. Marla's recurring nemesis, the Baroness Erica Von Kampf, her platinum blonde bangs cut into a V-shape to cover the swastika that was branded on her forehead.Gary Hale, the all-American man who doesn't necessary marry the right woman.Albino Jo, a Harvard-educated, loincloth-wearing albino Indian in the Brazilian jungle who resurfaces a year later as a pipe-smoking criminologist dressed in a well-tailored suit.Whiffy, a French transvestite smuggler of stolen European art!Miss Fury's friend Era, who falls for one of two seemingly young and handsome men who actually are 200 years old, and have been drinking an elixir to stay young! 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. 2012 EISNER AWARD NOMINEE!
