#June Tarpe mills

[fashioninpaper]

Miss Fury is a superheroine from the Golden Age of Comics. She was created by June Tarpe Mills in a Sunday Comic Strip in 1941.

The character was Marla Drake, a wealthy socialite. Shr acquired increased strength and speed when she dons a special skintight catsuit when fighting crime.

[comicsart3]

Some say that Miss Fury was the first identifiable female comic book hero in that she adopted the features of the classic costumed crime fighters that followed. She wore a costume and mask, had a secret identity, came from a famous/ well off background and possessed athleticism, fighting prowess and detecting skills, all which helped her to fight crime, often at night. Miss Fury’s real identity was socialite Marla Drake and she was something of a proto-Batgirl with her skin tight costume, mask-and-pointy ears disguise, vigilantism and her propensity for rooftop investigating. Her origins lay in the African jungle when she fashioned her costume from the hide of a “black leopard” which her father had willed her as a curiosity, saying it had belonged to a witch doctor who had claimed it had magic powers. Marla becomes a hero almost accidentally, making her costume as an emergency replacement when another woman wears a similar outfit to hers at a ball. The page above is from her origin story and depicts her capturing the criminal Killer Dawson, again rather spontaneously, after which her interest in secret crime fighting is piqued.

As Miss Fury, Marla takes on Nazi spies, gangsters and assorted criminals attempting to aid the police in capturing hard-to-nail crooks, particularly Marla’s love interest, Detective Dan Carey (despite being engaged to someone else). Engagingly, Marla remained conflicted about her crime-fighting persona, resenting the need for a secret identity, and querying her worth as a crime fighter (quite the opposite of her near-contemporary, Black Cat). Also, as the first of her kind, Miss Fury encountered concern from censorious conservative opinion, who judged her costume too revealing and her antics inappropriate. This may explain her relatively short run of an eight issue series of her own in 1942-43. Nonetheless, the character opened the door to Black Cat, Wonder Woman, Catwoman and a host of other female comic book costumed characters so, in some respects, she is a truly historic figure.

Miss Fury first appeared in a syndicated newspaper comic strip called The Black Fury in April 1941, illustrated by June Tarpe Mills, significantly one of the few women working as an illustrator and scripter in the Golden Age. In November 1941, the strip was retitled Miss Fury. These stories were later collated in the character’s own title. The page featured is from Miss Fury #1 (December 1942).

“You won’t find June Tarpé Mills in huge superhero anthologies that aren’t focused explicitly on women. She’s missing from so many of them, which is shocking considering her contribution to comics: Mills was the first woman to create a female superhero. Her heroine, Miss Fury, made her debut in April 1941—eight months before Wonder Woman saw print. Together, Mills and Fury would set the bar for pop culture’s heroic women. Fortunately, comics historians like Trina Robbins have championed overlooked women in the industry through excellent publications, bringing their history to light so we can celebrate them.

Originally a fashion illustrator, Mills began making comics in 1938. She penned stories for some of the era’s most popular titles, creating dashing, brave male heroes for the funny pages. As Robbins recognizes in her research, Mills worked hard to land a career in cartooning. Living with her widowed mother and her sister’s orphaned children in Brooklyn, she began modeling to support her family and pay her way through art school. To break into the male-dominated comics industry, she adopted the nom de plume “Tarpé Mills,” believing the name was ambiguous enough to mask her gender.”

Before the infection 4

Despite the finality of the decision. The girls made several preparations before heading to Bob’s residence They waited until early the next morning. Just as the sunlight painted the back roads an ashy grey.

“Cloudy today.” Pam remarked. She was tired. Oh so tired. Every time she turned the wrong way in her sleep, she was graced with a new wave of pain blooming from her damaged ear. Because of this, she maybe got four to five hours. Maybe.

Now she rested her chin on her palm watching the world slowly pass by. The black truck rumbled down the abandoned back roads. The woman drummed her fingers on her cheek. She hadn’t said much after her bout of insanity the day before.

Roxy sighed. “Yep. Think we’ll get rain?” A few fat droplets splattered against the windshield, answering her question. Pam just smirked. It was lucky they hadn’t let the animals out yet.

“Should have brought a hat.” The taller woman eyed the source of the rain with a smile. Maybe today wouldn’t be so bad. The fields would be watered for free. That was a good thing. Maybe the ground would be too wet for those springy mother fuckers to properly jump. Or aim.

They weren’t ready for what they saw. Sitting outside Bob’s yard, happened to be a few dozen infected. All with faces Roxy sadly recognized. “Shit... There’s my mom. And my auntie June...Oh...Little cousin Jeremy.” The girl fell back. Pam paused. Bewildered at them all.

“You have to be shitting me!” The infected milled about. Not noticing the vehicle at hand. They seamed more occupied with beating the piss out of one another. It gave Roxy time to have a good cry. All the while Pam soothed a hand over her back and muttered little comforts.

The two women sat in silence a while before Roxy heaved a sigh. “Hey Pam?”

“Yeah?”

“You still remember how to break into a house? Or were you too coked out of your mind?” It wasn’t a subject Roxy brought up much. Pam didn’t like to talk about it. But her history of drug abuse actually came into play now. She heaved a sigh.

“You’re asking now?...Yeah. But it’ll make a shit ton of noise for a second. If he has decent locks. And that’s only assuming he didn’t install an alarm.” She sighed. Reaching for the back seat and pulling a bottle of water out for each woman. They both took a long sip before Roxy spoke again.

“He didn’t. Superstitious bastard thought they were government monitoring devices.” She patted the steering wheal scanning the remains of her family. “I don’t see Bob. Good news is, I also don’t see any specials.”

Pam watched the infected for a moment before searching the glove compartment. She pulled an old mixtapeCD from it’s place. Closing the compartment. She then passed it to Roxy.

She looked it over sighing. “Nickelback? Seriously?” She nudged Pams arm with a laugh.

“Oh sue me. Look I did something like this a few times. Only with the police. I want you to roll the windows down a bit and crank this. These things are sound sensitive so they’re going to follow you.” Pam pointed down the road a bit.

“I want you to drive a few miles up the road. Slow enough that they can keep up. Fast enough so they don’t catch you. When you’re far enough away speed up and kill the music. Take the main road back and come back here. I’ll have every thing I can piled up next to the door and waiting for you.” She instructed.

Roxy just stared at her dumbfounded. “Oh fuck that! I’m not leaving you. We don’t know if there’s infected in the house! I’ll agree to most of the plan but you’re coming with me.” She slammed the CD into the player as fast as it would go.

Pam couldn’t argue with good sense really. So she sat back. Rolling her window down enough for the rough guitars to start screaming out and be heard. The engine roared in challenge as the infected spilled over the short garden fence outside Bob’s beat up old shack. They sped in reverse and whipped around.

One They drove just fast enough to make the bastards run. Pam slapped the dashboard in time with the music singing along loudly. Roxy was cackling like some demented witch as the hoards spilled around one another.

They gunned it once the hoard was far enough to lose interest in the house killing the music. Roxy took the turn a little too sharply and ended up fish tailing to correct the vehicle. However, the plan worked flawlessly.

As they pulled into the driveway once more the two women held their rifles ready. Pam was the first out. Checking the bushes for any unwelcome visitors. Once they got to the door, the shorter woman gave it a jiggle. No luck.

Pam sighed. Examining the door. The window seamed low enough. Sure there were a few bars on the inside but...Those were always too wide to actually stop anything. Taking the butt of her rifle, she slammed it into the glass.

Her rewards was a spiderweb of cracks. Roxy apparently had been looking elsewhere as she took the initiative too soon. Reaching to unlock the door through the hole only to awkwardly slap the cracking glass.

“So um...” Pam began.

“Not another word.”

After a few more strikes the glass finally blew inward. They unlocked the deadbolt and chain before slipping in silently. Closing the door behind them. Even if they were certain the infected were gone, they weren’t taking any chances.

“Okay I think he- do you hear laughter?” Pam paused in response to this. Sure enough a constant stream of deranged giggling rung through the house. The two women glanced at one another. Pam murmured a few well chosen curses under her breath.

“What ever you do. If it jumps ya. Shut your eyes. Learn from my mistakes.” Pam urged as they crept through the room. Sadly the laughter was on the move. And closing in. The two women held their guns at the ready. Waiting for the little monster to show it’s face.

Something slammed onto Roxy’s shoulders and she began firing wildly. Causing Pam to scramble well out of the way while the small howling menace began it’s assault. “FUUUUH”

“Roxy just! Lemme! HANG ON YOU IDIOT!”The gun fire stopped only when the barrel was empty. Much to Pams relief as the panicked woman began her struggle. She didn’t want to risk shooting and so began to assault the thing with the butt of her rifle.

Occasionally she’s smack the shorter woman, however eventually they managed to knock the little bugger off. One final shot From Pams rifle and the Jockey lay still. A large hole in it’s chest.

Both women stood there gasping for air. They stared dumbfounded at each other. “So uh... That just happened.” Roxy reloaded her gun, turning away and avoiding eye contact. Pam cleared her throat. Nudging the corpse’ head.

“This may be a bad time but... I think this is your uncle Bob.”

It took a solid three solid hours to load the truck up. And sadly the ruckus from earlier had drawn a small trio of undead their way. Fortunately it was only the three. The women took little time returning home and closing the gate behind themselves. There wasn’t much they could do in the rain, sadly. Asside from throw a tarp over the building materials.

“Okay. So as long as the power doesn’t go out we’re set now. Right?” Roxy was trying to remain hopeful. To push Pam forward. Pam, on the other hand, grimaced. Pealing the gauze away from her ear in order to change it. She also sat Roxy down to clean off what scratches she’d gained from her fight with Bob.

“Even if the power goes out, we have a generator. It might need gas though.” She checked the new wrappings on her ear and applied a few small bandages to Roxy’s little scrapes.

“And you say I got lucky. Look at you little miss hardly even felt it.” She folded her arms grinning. Roxy on the other hand, had her face scrunched up in thought.

“Paaaam?” That tone. It said it all before Roxy could even finish her statement. Neither of them thought to stock up on gas. Fortunately their little ghost town had a gas station. One that Roxy quite wonderfully had a spare set of keys for. Thanks to looting her dear old uncle. 

With their little gas canisters, the woman raided the store. Once that ran dry? There was a town full of abandoned cars. Once that went? Well they’d think of something. Worst case scenario, the two could jury-rig some alternate type of engine.

It didn’t take them long to return home. Unloading the supplies into the house where it was secure. Despite this. Roxy leaned on the door frame. She drummed her fingers in a scattered, agitated pattern. “What’s up?”

Pam nudged her with a mug of tea. The woman took it and took a long sip. Heaving a sigh. “That’s my family...Just wandering. Infected...Zombies. What if...What if one of us turns?”

“You’ve seen a Zombie movie or two. You know what needs to happen.” Pam deadpanned. It wasn’t a nice thought. Nor was the realization that the rain was getting harder. They were in for some nasty weather. It seamed.

Artist Emma Kubert Enlisted For First Series!

Dynamite Entertainment announces the return of one of the most influential characters in comics history this October: Miss Fury! Multi-Eisner nominee Billy Tucci (Shi, Sgt. Rock) and rising star Emma Kubert take to the pages of sequential art to battle Nazis in Miss Fury: Joy Division!

Born into newspaper strips during World War II, Miss Fury holds her ground in comic book history as one of the original superheroines, a character firmly rooted in the 1940’s, and now revitalized via Dynamite Entertainment for the 21st century.  In this new series, writer Billy Tucci gives readers a look into the tragedy of the Nazi Joy Division’s, one of the world’s darkest and least known secrets and an important story that must be told. 

“Miss Fury: Joy Division will be set during the darkest days of WWII and will be in line with creator June Tarpe Mills’ true vision that includes her original cast of characters and the intriguing storylines that laced them all together to create an icon that ran in the Sundaystrips for over a decade,” states author Billy Tucci.

The all-star creative team is set to recapture the legend of the original “Cat Woman” Marla Drake and her army of “Black Furies” that take readers from the warring skies above New York City and into the heart of Hitler’s Third Reich in the spirit of an all-female “Inglourious Basterds.” 

“Emma Kubert is an incredible young talent ready to take on the world!” remarked Tucci. “She’s a comic book superstar who brings a passion and drive to this series I’ve not seen in years. Emma, like our heroine Marla Drake is fiercely independent and devoted to making this series a true classic.”

“It’s amazing. I’ve been friends with Billy for close to 25 years and this is the first time we’re working together on this level,” added Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher of Dynamite Entertainment.  “Watching Billy’s inspiration for the character and content really has shown what’s possible for storytelling in comics and teaching through history.” 

Billy Tucci is scheduled to appear on the Dynamite Entertainment Diamond Previews Premiere Publisher Panel from 1:00-2pm on Friday, July 20 at in Room 4 at San Diego Comic-Con 2018.

The debut issue of Miss Fury: Joy Division #1 delivers a wide selection of cover variants, providing fans and retailers a chance to collect the whole set! The cover artwork features the talents of Billy Tucci (Shi), Emma Kubert, Ken Lashley (Black Panther), Mike McKone (Teen Titans) and Jan Duursema (Star Wars), respectively.   A Blank Authentix Edition will be available as a variant forMiss Fury: Joy Division #1 featuring the same great story, but with a blank cover for fans to get their favorite artist to draw their version of Miss Fury.

Miss Fury: Joy Division #1 will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ August 2018 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in October 2018. Comic book fans are encouraged to reserve copies of Miss Fury: Joy Division #1 with their local comic book retailers. Miss Fury: Joy Division #1 will also be available for individual customer purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, Kindle, iBooks, Google Play, Dynamite Digital, iVerse, Madefire, and Dark Horse Digital.

Smoke. It’s No longer Only for Mezcal Anymore.

Put the phrases “tequila” and “smoky” in combination and most of the people call to mind mezcal. It’s because maximum mezcal makers nonetheless use the artisanal technique of cooking agaves in earthen pits, growing smoky aromas and flavors, versus steam-powered autoclaves and brick ovens that many trendy tequila makers use.

However mezcal doesn’t have a nook at the smoky marketplace. Previous to the 1870s, tequila (which is quite a lot of mezcal) had the similar underground cooking legacy, and a couple of tequila manufacturers are actually returning to that procedure to deliver new merchandise to the marketplace.

Lately Patrón introduced its Gran Patrón Smoky tequila, and ahead of you leap to conclusions about how an enormous emblem would possibly have made this artisanal product, allow us to say prematurely that their effort is the actual deal. Patrón invited us to their distillery so lets document the painstaking procedure. (See the video, or geek out studying all of the steps under.)

Now, Patrón isn’t the one emblem returning to those unique tequila-making strategies. Significantly, so are Siembra Valles Ancestral and Lunazul El Humoso Blanco. All 3 of those merchandise are made with blue agaves cooked in an earthen pit, however there are some variations. Siembra Valles Ancestral, as an example, chefs for five days, makes use of heavy wood mallets to overwhelm the agaves via hand (as an alternative of a tahona), and a Filipino-style pot nonetheless. Lunazul El Humoso, chefs underground for 48 hours, however then makes use of their standard curler mill, and chrome steel pot stills.

Whilst mezcal drinkers have grown acquainted with the signature aromas and flavors that old-school strategies produce, those merchandise be offering one thing new to trendy tequila drinkers.

“Using wood-fired, stone pits, honors essentially the most historic strategies of roasting agave,” says Lee Applbaum, International Leader Advertising and marketing Officer for Patrón Tequila.

Applebaum famous that Patrón Smoky represents years of trial-and-error, ensuring the smokiness didn’t crush the agave. He believes that with the overall product Patrón has controlled to stability the smoky and herbaceous agave notes, growing one thing distinctive for tequila enthusiasts.

“That is maximum undoubtedly an artisanal tequila, made without a components to persuade the flavour, and we don’t need any confusion or debate about that,” says Applebaum.

Our Style Take a look at

We all know what you’re questioning: neatly, in spite of everything this effort, how is it?! We sat down one night time to check Patrón Smoky in opposition to Siembra Valles Ancestral and Lunazul El Humoso. All 3 have numerous cooked agave within the aroma and taste. Each the Patrón and Siembra Valles merchandise are high-proof (50.Five% and 50.2%, respectively), whilst Lunazul’s is a regular 40% abv. The high-proof tequilas had a lot bolder smoky aromas and flavors; Humoso’s was once very faint when compared.

Listed below are our rankings and feedback for those 3 merchandise, as they lately seem within the Tequila Matchmaker app:

Gran Patrón Smoky

Scarlet: 90

“Candy, slow-cooked agave, smoke and natural and earth notes with a rounded, flavorful mouthfeel. The candy agave taste is adopted – and balanced- via a smoky end that lingers pleasantly. Extremely drinkable for 50.Five% abv.

Smartly-crafted product that appears like a chic, long-ago tequila, and no longer a mezcal. The mature blue agave is the superstar of this smoky display.”

—

Grover: 90

“Delicate smoke, slight cheese & earthy aromas however it��s the agave that shines above all. Loving the aroma. Smoke delicate at the nostril, however a lot more outstanding within the taste, but nonetheless permits the agave to come back via loud and powerful. It is a best possible stability between agave and smoke. Oily mouthfeel and creamy end. The end has great waves of complexity because it slowly fades. Smartly completed!

(It will have rated even upper for worth if the associated fee was once somewhat decrease.)”

Siembra Valles Ancestral (Lot 03)

Scarlet: 86

“Smoke, cooked agave and slight celery, cilantro nostril. Relatively candy and rustic agave mouth with great, lengthy smoky end. It’s glaring that fab care was once all for the artisanal manufacturing, however I want the mouth taste was once extra evolved.

At 50.2% abv it’s a bit scorching for my non-public style, however one thing mezcal drinkers will almost certainly revel in. (Consuming it out of a jicara moderately than a Reidel indubitably makes it clean out and open up.)”

—

Grover: 88

“Sure, it has some smoke but additionally numerous agave, vegetal and celery aromas. I truly love how this smells. It indubitably has a smoky mezcal vibe in each the aroma and taste which lingers for some time at the palate. Great, herbal, slow-cooked agave sweetness within the taste and end comes from a complete Five-days within the earthen pit.

Agaves are even overwhelmed via hand ahead of loading into previous wooden fermentation vats. End could be very mild and delicate, particularly for a high-proof tequila. It’s a tiny bit too rustic for me, however it’s what I’d be expecting of an original expression of an historic time. (A Filipino pot nonetheless made from pine wooden is even used for a part of the distillation.)

I applaud the hassle and keenness that went into this style of tequila historical past.”

Lunazul El Humoso Blanco

Scarlet: 80

“The ‘humo’ within the smoky tequila could be very faint, possibly tampered down via the decrease evidence, in comparison to different smoky merchandise. Candy agave, jalapeño, and rather fruity nostril. Taste is modest and candy with a refined smoky end. Very cushy expression. I wish to see extra advanced flavors and a punch of smoke.”

—

Grover: 83

“Jalapeño, black pepper, cinnamon and cooked agave aromas, however no longer a lot smoke. Smells great. Smoke slightly detectable within the taste. Candy taste, and a whole lot of agave. I used to be anticipating extra smoke! If this was once categorised as a regular blanco, I’d have scored it upper. However, anticipating a lot more smoke (in line with its identify and procedure) it misplaced some issues as it left me in need of extra. And at this sort of low worth level, it will get a nine out of 10 in worth.”

(NOTE: Despite the fact that our ratings are frequently the similar, or very shut to one another, now we have a coverage of no longer talking to one another whilst we’re going in the course of the score procedure. We don’t wish to affect every different whatsoever, and our rankings and impressions are at all times unbiased of one another.)

Gran Patrón Smoky is priced at $199. Simply 1,200 instances have been made for this preliminary U.S. release, with growth deliberate for 2019.

Siembra Valles Ancestral prices $120, and can also be purchased online Outdated The town Tequila.

Lunazul El Humoso has a retail worth of $29.

So, what do you call to mind this development of smoky tequilas? Are you keen to check out them? Tell us!

Right here’s a (very geeky) rundown of Patrón’s Smoky procedure:

Patrón put in 10 earthen pits in the back of their distillery in Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco. Each and every pit holds 2 lots of agave, which could be very little in comparison to the 14 lots that can have compatibility inside of one in all their brick ovens. From January till June of this yr, employees loaded and unloaded those pits via hand, then transported the cooked agave to a tahona house devoted to this mission.

Loading the Pits

– A hoop of volcanic rock (Basaltica) is positioned across the backside fringe of the pit – Mesquite charcoal is then added to the ground of the pit. Mesquite was once decided on on account of the qualities it brings to the overall product. – As soon as the coals are in position, 96° alcohol is used to start out the burn – After the coals have had a while to warmth up, further layers of stones and extra coals are added – Huge lovers are pointed into the pit to hurry up the burn – As soon as the stones inside the pit succeed in 500°C, still-moist agave fibers (contemporary from the Patrón curler mill) are added. This offers a layer of coverage for the agaves, and likewise contributes to the product’s taste profile – Employees then upload the agave to the pit. They’re minimize into equal-sized items. – A warmth resistant, double-layer tarp is positioned excessive of the agaves – And a last layer of earth is put on best of the pit, sealing the steam inside of – Agaves cook dinner within the pit for 7 days

Unloading the Pits

– Employees use shovels to take away the highest layer of earth – The tarp layers are peeled again, and steam will break out – Agaves are actually absolutely cooked, nonetheless heat to touch – Employees take away every agave from the pit via hand, striking it in a Skid Steer Loader, which then dumps them right into a truck – The truck drives to the opposite aspect of the distillery, the place the tahona pits are ready

Crushing/Extraction

– Agaves are put onto a conveyor belt, which takes them in the course of the brick oven and to a shredder – Shredded agaves are taken via a conveyor belt to the tahona pit, the place employees unfold the fibers round – The tahona crushing takes 2 hours to procedure the 2-ton load from the pit – The method is similar one used for the manufacturing of Roca Patrón – As soon as entire, the overwhelmed fibers, and no matter liquid stays within the pit, are moved into wooden fermentation tanks

Fermentation

– Each and every fermentation tank holds 1 ton of agave, so 2 tanks are used for every pit load – The method takes three days to finish, the use of the similar yeast and procedure as the remainder of Patrón’s merchandise

Comic: Dynamite Signs Billy Tucci For “Miss Fury” Ongoing Series

Thanks to Dynamite Entertainment classic hero Miss Fury is coming back with the help of Billy Tucci and Emma Kubert.

Full Press Release:

Dynamite Signs Billy Tucci For “Miss Fury” Ongoing Comic! Artist Emma Kubert Enlisted For First Series!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 17, 2018, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Dynamite Entertainment announces the return of one of the most influential characters in comics history this October: Miss Fury! Multi-Eisner nominee Billy Tucci (Shi, Sgt. Rock) and rising star Emma Kubert take to the pages of sequential art to battle Nazis in Miss Fury: Joy Division!

Born into newspaper strips during World War II, Miss Fury holds her ground in comic book history as one of the original superheroines, a character firmly rooted in the 1940’s, and now revitalized via Dynamite Entertainment for the 21st century. In this new series, writer Billy Tucci gives readers a look into the tragedy of the Nazi Joy Division’s, one of the world’s darkest and least known secrets and an important story that must be told.

“Miss Fury: Joy Division will be set during the darkest days of WWII and will be in line with creator June Tarpe Mills’ true vision that includes her original cast of characters and the intriguing storylines that laced them all together to create an icon that ran in the Sunday strips for over a decade,” states author Billy Tucci.

The all-star creative team is set to recapture the legend of the original “Cat Woman” Marla Drake and her army of “Black Furies” that take readers from the warring skies above New York City and into the heart of Hitler’s Third Reich in the spirit of an all-female “Inglourious Basterds.”

“Emma Kubert is an incredible young talent ready to take on the world!” remarked Tucci. “She’s a comic book superstar who brings a passion and drive to this series I’ve not seen in years. Emma, like our heroine Marla Drake is fiercely independent and devoted to making this series a true classic.”

“It’s amazing. I’ve been friends with Billy for close to 25 years and this is the first time we’re working together on this level,” added Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher of Dynamite Entertainment. “Watching Billy’s inspiration for the character and content really has shown what’s possible for storytelling in comics and teaching through history.”

Billy Tucci is scheduled to appear on the Dynamite Entertainment Diamond Previews Premiere Publisher Panel from 1:00-2pm on Friday, July 20 at in Room 4 at San Diego Comic-Con 2018.

The debut issue of Miss Fury: Joy Division #1 delivers a wide selection of cover variants, providing fans and retailers a chance to collect the whole set! The cover artwork features the talents of Billy Tucci (Shi), Emma Kubert, Ken Lashley (Black Panther), Mike McKone (Teen Titans) and Jan Duursema (Star Wars), respectively. A Blank Authentix Edition will be available as a variant forMiss Fury: Joy Division #1 featuring the same great story, but with a blank cover for fans to get their favorite artist to draw their version of Miss Fury.

Miss Fury: Joy Division #1 will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ August 2018 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in October 2018. Comic book fans are encouraged to reserve copies of Miss Fury: Joy Division #1 with their local comic book retailers.

Days of Fury #2. Who is Marla Drake? Small of stature but fiercely independent, wealthy socialite Marla Drake is an unmarried woman with a child who becomes the cat-suited adventuress "Miss Fury." In her very first page, Marla discovers that another "girl" is wearing the same outfit to a costume party. Out of desperation, the raven-haired beauty with ice blue eyes dons a ceremonial African panther skin willed to her by a deceased uncle. Marla never made it to the party. On the way, she instead ends up capturing an escaped murderer. The press bestowed the name "Black Fury" on her though she later corrected them that she was "Miss Fury." Having enjoyed her first case, Drake continued as a costumed crime fighter. Fighting enemies such as General Bruno Beitz, Baroness Erica von Kampf and Charles "Whiffy" Villon -- all of whom play MAJOR roles in the "Joy Division" story arc brought to you this October by artist Emma Kubert, Dynamite editor Anthony Marques and myself. Marla's vigilantism soon got the attention of Detective Carey who sought to find her true identity and if her alliances were with or against the law and later fell in love with Marla (who wouldn't?!). One ongoing plotline was Marla's adoption of Darron, the abandoned son of her arch nemesis Erica Von Kampf and Gary Hale. Gary is Marla's former fiancé who also appears in "Joy Division". Marla is unaware of the toddler's parentage and this will become a major plot point of the story as she and Erica both discuss "their son" to one another during the arc's darkest moments. How did Marla come to adopt, Darron? Well she literally rescued him in Brazil from the brutal guardianship of demented Doctor (and Erica's lover) Diman Saraf, who planned to use him in a deadly experiment. Marla was initially denied custody of the boy because she was a single woman, which broke her heart but, her courage and heroism in the rescue eventually won over the authorities. Again, a rather progressive scenario for a 1940s adventure strip. A dead ringer for her stunning creator June Tarpe' Mills, Marla Drake is the first female superhero created and drawn by a woman.
