Fantomah

Fantomah is an American comics character, best known as one of the earliest comic-book superheroines. Created by Fletcher Hanks, the character first appeared in Jungle Comics #2 (cover-dated Feb. 1940), published by Fiction House. Hanks is also known for creating the equally strange Stardust the Super Wizard. The character preceded Wonder Woman's first appearance, and has been claimed to be the first female superhero in comic books. One comics historian says, "Simultaneously grotesque and goofy, horrific and hilarious, the strip truly defies description."
