Lady Luck II?
« on: September 24, 2008, 05:39:00 AM »

Can anyone tell me how long the "Lady Luck" feature in Charlton's DANGER comic ran? I don't know if it ran one issue, two, etc.

I know there is a Comic Media (Danger) series of the same name, but I was not aware that another character went by the name of Lady Luck -- I doubt that Charlton's Lady Luck bore any relation to Quality's though, but this Charlton version is a crime fighter of sorts with an ethnic assistant (Asian? Indian?).

Any gurus able to give me (and all of us) insight into this? I looked in Keltner, and there is not anything that can help me figure this one out. Nothing on toonopedia either...

BTW, Yoc, Phabox -- could this be a new Archive waiting to happen? :::hint hint:::

The GCD only lists issue #13, which happens to be the only one I see floating around.  That doesn't mean either of the other two issues (Danger ran from #12-14 on account of being a Charlton book--just be glad they were published in order), because there are a lot of (literal) question marks in the other entries, but the story titles don't really sound appropriate.

Lady Luck IS a candidate for archiving but right now this project is in other hands although I have written and submitted an introduction which I hope will be used in the finished production.

Right now the big push is to get Phantom Lady Volume Two ready to roll but Yoc and myself might take some time out to look at a very famous married couple ( not Lucy and Desi but the time frames about right) and a certain short lived Golden Age hero.

It would be very exciting if there was a direct connection of this Charlton Lady Luck to Quality's Lady Luck.

For instance, imagine my surprise when I came across "Crime Smasher" aka "Spy Smasher" in Badge of Justice?! Charlton extended the shelf life of many beloved characters in their various forms well into the 1950s and that is what makes the Charlton-GA connection fascinating in my opinion.

I Think that Spy-Smasher converted to Crime Smasher while still under the Fawcett banner in a late post war issue of Whiz Comics which I seem to recall went up here just recently.

Not looked at the 'Badge of Justice' story yet but I suspect it may well have been a left over Fawcett invatory item of even a reprint.
