Biography
[edit ]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 Jungle Comics.[5] [6] The 1930 Census lists Marcia's profession as an independent artist.[7]
In the late 1970s, 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.[8]
She died on February 27, 1976, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.[3]
