Biography

Snyder was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan on May 13, 1907.[2] She graduated from Western Normal High School in 1925.[3]

Around the time she started working for Timely, she lived in Greenwich Village with her girlfriend, Mickey.[4] At Fiction House, a publisher known for its female adventure heroes, she worked on such titles as "Camilla," a jungle-girl feature in Planet Comics.[5][6]

In the late '70s, she "assisted" on the police comic Kerry Drake. What exactly that role entailed is unclear, though it is known that the original and credited creator was relying on ghostwriters and artists at that point.[7]

Snyder is rumored to have married later in life.[1]

She died on February 27, 1976 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.[3]

gollark: That doesn't seem to require anything beyond the reach of very dedicated humans.
gollark: If you are a god, what sort of godly powers are available to you?
gollark: How much competition is there for that?
gollark: The other one kept producing `CthulhuRlyehWgahnaglFhtagnException`s, apparently.
