Tarpe Mills was the creator of 'Miss Fury', one of the best action comics, which appeared in 1941. Born June Mills, she changed her name to the more sexually ambiguous "Tarpe", believing that the readers of her action-filled comics would be disappointed if they found out that they were created by a woman.
