Trina Robbins said on Miss Fury:"The only outrage I have seen were those newspapers that censored Mills's strip in which she dressed her nightclub entertainer character, Era, in an outfit that would not bother us in the least today.
"[16] Dean Mullaney, editor and publisher behind Eclipse Enterprises, wrote that "[Mills'] art is drawn very traditionally—no surprises, no ah-ha moments.
"[18] Evie Nagy for The Los Angeles Review of Books remarked that "the flow of Mills's sequential art feels completely organic.
"[16] June Mills' legacy as the first woman to create a female action hero in comics was contextualized by Victoria Ingalls for the American Psychological Association.
Out of a list of hundreds of female "superheroes" surveyed in her abstract, Ingalls identified only eleven as being created by a woman not working in a team with a male writer.
"Putting on a cape and mask liberated these women" to embrace their own identities, fight crime, and trade their "entitled boredom" for thrills.
[20] Mills was inducted as one of the four Judges' Choices into the 2019 Eisner Award Hall of Fame on July 19, 2019, at ComicCon International in San Diego.
