The first Black Fury debuted on April 6, 1941, as aSunday comic stripdistributed by theBell Syndicate, and created by artistTarpé Mills.[1][2]Originally called the Black Fury within the story itself though not as the strip\'s title,[3]she eventually became known asMiss Fury; her alter ego was wealthy socialite Marla Drake. Miss Fury had no innate superpowers, but gained increased strength and speed when she donned a special skintight catsuit when fighting crime.[2]Drake\'s alter-ego combatted several regular villains,including mad scientist Diman Saraf and Nazi agents Erica Von Kampf and General Bruno. Drake was also involved in a love triangle with her former fiancé, Gary Hale, and Detective Dan Carey.[2]AlthoughMiss Furywas popular, the revealing outfits worn by its 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]TheMiss Furystrip ran until 1952.Marvel Comics(then known as Timely Comics) reprinted her Sunday strips in comic book form from 1942 to 1946.
In 1979 Archival Press reissued her early adventures ingraphic novelformat, with new covers by Mills.
In 2011,IDW\'s \"Library of American Comics\" put out a collection of strips covering 1944-49. IDW published another volume containing the 1941-1944Miss Furystrips in 2013.[4]
John Perry[edit]The second Black Fury premiered inFox Feature Syndicate\'sFantastic Comics#17 (April 1941). This version was created by artists Dennis Neville and Mark Howell. Black Fury was the alter ego of John Perry,gossip columnistfor theDaily Clarion.Perry used his newspaper connections to uncover information on crime and corruption, which he would then fight in his costumed form. He had no superpowers, and was assisted by Chuck Marley, the son of a slain policeman. The Fox Black Fury character appeared in eight issues ofFantastic Comics.
Rex King[edit]The third Black Fury appeared inSuper-Magic Comics#1 (May 1941), published byStreet & SmithPublications. There were no writing or artists credited. Black Fury was the secret identity of Rex King, a costumed adventurer who could glide through the air, using the wing-like underarm flaps of his costume. He defended the jungles of Africa with the help of his pet black panther, Kato.
Female criminal[edit]The fourth Black Fury was created byMatt Baker, and debuted inFox Feature Syndicate\'sZoot#9 (Oct. 1947). This was a female criminal who used trained black panthers to battle the jungle goddessRulah. She appeared in a story entitled \"Fangs of Black Fury\".
Charlton Comics[edit]The fifth Black Fury debuted inCharlton Comics\'Black Fury#1 (May 1955). This character was ahorsethat roamed the West righting wrongs, bearing some resemblance to the 1955-1960NBCSaturday-morningTV seriesFury(for whichDell Publishingreleased a tie-in comic-book series). The Charlton comic featured artwork byDick GiordanoandRocco \"Rocke\" Mastroserioand lasted 58 issues.
Other appearances[edit]Tarpé Mills\'s Miss Fury was revived in a four-issue mini-series published in 1991 byAdventure Comics(an imprint ofMalibu Comics). In that series, we learned that the new Miss Fury (Marlene Hale) is the granddaughter of the original. Marlene\'s Aunt Stephanie also becomes a costumed adventurer, called The Black Fury. A battle between the two ends when both fall into a vat of chemicals.
This version of Miss Fury would return inMalibu Comics\'Protectorsseries, in issues 10–12. Black Fury (who no longer remembers her own name due to the earlier accident) has kidnapped the grandson of President Brian O\'Brien; O\'Brien was formerly theClock. Miss Fury helps the Protectors rescue the boy, but Black Fury slips away.
Miss Fury would continue to appear in the pages ofThe Protectorsuntil the series ended with issue #20 in 1994.
The original Miss Fury also saw a brief cameo reappearance in 2008 when Marvel Comics published the first issue of the seriesThe Twelve. She was depicted as part of an army of 1940s costumed heroes storming Berlin, Germany during the final days of World War II.
In November 2012,the Golden Age Miss Fury appeared in theDynamite EntertainmentcomicMasks, where she joined with other comic and pulp-magazine heroes (includingZorro,the Shadowand theGreen Hornet) to combat the villainous \"Party of Justice\".[5]In April 2013 Dynamite began publishing a comic book with an updated version of the Golden Age Miss Fury.

I send out First Class orPriority Mail which takes 2-5 days to arrive in the USAand Air Mail International which takes 10 days or more depending on where youlive in the world.
