Miss Fury

Few characters carry the trailblazing weight of Miss Fury, who burst onto the Golden Age scene in 1942 courtesy of the brilliant Tarpé Mills — one of the first women to create and draw a major superhero comic strip, a fact that makes this character historically electrifying. Debuting in Miss Fury #2, she's a figure whose legacy has stretched an astonishing eight decades, proving that real icons don't fade. Her adventures place her in rarefied company: the same pages as The Shadow, The Green Hornet, and Bruce Wayne himself, a rogues' gallery of Golden Age royalty that speaks to just how central Miss Fury is to that era's mythology. With a key issue to her name, appearances in noir-drenched titles, and a publishing life running all the way to 2025, she's a collector's treasure and a genuine piece of comics history well worth seeking out.
