Number 1913: Lady Luck on the rocks

In 2012 I posted a Lady Luck story (see the link below today's feature). I offered my opinion why Lady Luck, who had all of the charms a reader could want — looks, brains, money — only lasted five issues in her own comic book. After all, she had been in the Spirit Section for years, and those stories were reprinted in Smash Comics until issue #85. Smash was changed to Lady Luck with issue #86, and continued through issue #90.

Lady Luck had the additional bonus of being drawn by one of Quality Comics’ best artists, Klaus Nordling,* who had also done Pen Miller and the Barker. The Lady Luck stories were cute and funny. They could also strain credulity, as in the panels where Lady Luck, in high heels, bounds across boulders, and even keeps the seams of her stockings straight!

*The Grand Comics Database attributes the art to Fred Schwab, ghosting for Nordling. Looks like Nordling to me, although I don’t know how much he actually may have had to do with the finished artwork.
