In 1941, during the Golden Age of Comics, Miss Fury became the first female action hero created by a woman. She was so popular that during World War II, Miss Fury graced the nose of four B17 and B24 bombers. Now Dynamite Entertainment has announced that she is returning in a new original graphic novel available only on Indiegogo.
Multiple Eisner-nominated Billy Tucci (Shi, Sgt. Rock) is the writer of the original graphic novel Miss Fury: Joy Division, which will be a complete 100-page story. It features the work of artist Maria Laura Sanapo (Red Sonja & Vampirella Meet Betty & Veronica) with colorist Ceci de la Cruz and letterer Mindy Lopkin.
“I’m beyond excited to play a role in bringing back one of the most influential characters in comics history,” writer Tucci said in a press statement.
“Miss Fury will battle the Third Reich from the skies over New York to behind enemy lines in occupied France as Marla Drake is charged with capturing and bringing to justice the sadistic Nazi commander of the infamous ‘Joy Division.’ More importantly, I take it very, very seriously to honor Miss Fury’s creator, June TarpĂ© Mills, and to bring to light one of the most heinous yet forgotten episodes of the Holocaust.”
