MISS FURY MARLA DRAKE

The Black Fury, later known as Miss Fury whose alter ego was wealthy socialite Marla Drake. Miss Fury was the first female superhero created by a female cartoonist Tarpé Mills. A character based loosely on Mills' own appearance & the artwork was created in a glamorous 1940s style. Miss Fury's crime fighting costume was a sexy tight black Leopard skin that covered her from head to toe.

The Bell Syndicate which handled Mutt & Jeff launched Miss Fury as a Sunday page on April 6th, 1941. The Miss Fury Sunday series ran until 1952. Marvel Comics reprinted her adventures in a series of eight comics published 1942 to 1946.

Tarpé Mills cat Perri-Purr had been introduced into the strip as Miss Fury's cat & became the unofficial mascot for the allied troops during World War II.

The coolest super heroine of them all, Linda Turner alias The Black Cat! The Black Cat first appeared in Pocket Comics #1 September 1941. Published by Harvey Comics, created by Al Gabriele & the artist was Lee Elias. When most people think of Harvey Comics, they think of Casper 'The Friendly Ghost'.

RECOLLECTION: THE ORIGINAL BLACK CAT

In real life, Linda Turner 'The Black Cat' was of course, a Hollywood Movie Star. Linda was the daughter of silent film western actor Tim Turner & a former Hollywood stunt woman, who had successfully made the transition from stunt woman to lead actress. During the filming of a Hollywood movie, Linda suspects the film's director of being a Nazi spy. In order to follow him & gain corroborating evidence, she disguises herself in a backless blue blouse, red shorts, blue flared gloves, red buccaneer boots & a blue opera mask. Linda calls herself The Black Cat.

LATEST EDITION: THE BLACK CAT

The Black Cat became a series of 65 issues from 1946 through 1963. There are reissues ~ recollections The Original Black Cat Series Sets some printed in 1991. All comics original to reissues are worthy of their investments.

Hi Carolee, thanks for your comment.

I thought the kitty Tinkerbell eater was so cute & funny too. I'm trying to find all the Cat Women & I do believe there is a Comic Book Cat Woman before the TV Batman Series. There is also the big screen movie bevy of Cat Women too...

Hugs, Lyndy

Johanna Parker said...

Fun post Lyndy!.... I remember when I was little, I was fascinated with Cat Woman on the 1960s reruns of BatMan..... I really wanted to be her!.. hehe.... Guess I turned that fascination for cats into a folk art addiction!..... ( PS... I also wanted to be WonderWoman really bad.... I had the underoos and all :)

Hope all is well with you!

Hugs,
~ Johanna

Darci said...

You might want to add Marla Drake, the Black Fury, aka Miss Fury. She was the creation of Tarpe Mills, running from 1941 to 1952.
Hope this helps,
Darci

LYNDY WARD said...

Hi Johanna, thanks for your superhero comment. You wanted to be Wonder Woman... I was Wonder Women. You'll have to see my costume & how I did very minor publicity work as Wonder Woman for the Hollywood Look-A-Like Actor's Agency. Just click: Lyndy's Alter Ego ~ Wonder Women

Have A Safe & Happy 4th Of July!

LYNDY WARD said...

Hi Kim,

Thanks! It's Cat Woman historical work in progress...

Hugs, Lyndy

Darci said...

Lyndy,
You might want to note, under the cover for Alfred Harvey's Black Cat from 1995, that this character was stuntwoman Kim Stone, who set out to bring the character from the Black Cat movie she was making to real life. Writer Mark Evanier seemed to hint that Kim would meet a retired Linda Turner later, but there were no more issues.
Hope this helps,
Darci
