Book Description
To the world she was spoiled debutante Brenda Banks - but Brenda was bored with the normal life, so she donned her stylish dress, cape and heels, and became LADY LUCK - that ever-in-fashion crimefighter and hero. Before she appeared in Smash Comics, before she had her own title - LADY LUCK appeared in the very first regular weekly Sunday Comics section alongside Will Eisner's The Spirit and Mr. Mystic. Her historic run in the Sunday comics began in 1940 - and we have a great selection of her stories from this epic series from 1940-1944. NOTE: There is some slight overlap between the later stories of this volume and her early stories in Smash Comics, but only a handful.

She solved blackmail cases, spy cases, kidnappings, and any other cases that came her way. As Brenda Banks, she was in love with Police Chief Hardy Moore, whose job was (hardly surprisingly) to find and arrest Lady Luck.

Book Description
Nobody suspected that Lady Luck was actually Brenda Banks, a "debutante crime buster bored with social life" who decided to become a "modern lady Robin Hood." Her costume was not that of a traditional comic book vigilante; it looked like something that a Will Eisner femme fatale would wear. It was an emerald green gown, a green hat, and a green silk veil that hung over her face to disguise her identity. She solved blackmail cases, spy cases, kidnappings, and any other cases that came her way. As Brenda Banks, she was in love with Police Chief Hardy Moore; ironically, Moore's job was to bring in Lady Luck. Lady Luck is a fictional, American comic-strip and comic book crime fighter and adventuress created and designed in 1940 by Will Eisner with artist Chuck Mazoujian (1917-2011). Through 1946, she starred in a namesake, four-page weekly feature published in a Sunday-newspaper comic-book insert colloquially called "The Spirit Section". The feature, which ran through November 3, 1946, with one months-long interruption, was reprinted in comic books published by Quality Comics. A revamped version of the character debuted in 2013 in DC Comics's Phantom Stranger comic. Lady Luck was ranked 84th in Comics Buyer's Guide's "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list. Created and designed in 1940 by Will Eisner (who wrote the first two Lady Luck stories under the pseudonym "Ford Davis") with artist Chuck Mazoujian, Lady Luck appeared in her namesake, four-page weekly feature published in a Sunday-newspaper comic-book insert colloquially called "The Spirit Section". This 16-page, tabloid-sized, newsprint comic book, sold as part of eventually 20 Sunday newspapers with a combined circulation of as many as five million, starred Eisner's masked detective the Spirit and also initially included the feature Mr. Mystic, plus filler material. Writer Dick French took over scripting after these first two episodes. Later, writer-artist Nicholas Viscardi (later known as Nick Cardy) took over the feature from the May 18, 1941 strip through Feb. 22, 1942, introducing Lady Luck's chauffeur and assistant, Peecolo.[5] Though his Lady Luck stories were credited under the house pseudonym Ford Davis, Viscardi would subtly work in the initials "NV" somewhere into each tale. Writer-artist Klaus Nordling followed, from the March 1, 1942 to March 3, 1946 strip, when "Lady Luck" was temporarily canceled. After briefly being replaced by the humor feature "Wendy the Waitress" by Robert Jenny, "Lady Luck" returned from May 5 to November 3, 1946, under cartoonist Fred Schwab. "Lady Luck" stories were reprinted in the Quality Comics comic book Smash Comics #42-85 (April 1943 - Oct. 1949), whereupon the series changed its title to Lady Luck for five more issues. Nordling providing new seven- to 11-page stories in Lady Luck #86-90 (Dec. 1949 - Aug. 1950), with Gill Fox drawing the covers. Occasional backup features were "Lassie" by writer-artist Bernard Dibble and the humor features "The Count", by Nordling, and "Sir Roger", by Dibble or, variously, Bart Tumey. Lady Luck was revived alongside Eisner characters John Law, Nubbin, and Mr. Mystic in IDW Publishing's Will Eisner's John Law: Dead Man Walking, a 2004 collection of new stories by writer-artist Gary Chaloner.. This Archive contains Lady Luck adventures from: Smash Comics #42-85 Lady Luck #86-90 Approx 308 pages.

Book Description
There is perhaps no more iconic and popular character than Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT. His creation crossed many genres from mystery to crime to romance to humor, and his style was perfect for the time. Before he became a comic book staple, THE SPIRIT began in 1940 as a Sunday weekly 16-page insert in the newspapers, alongside a couple guest-stars. The widely-syndicated weekly comics ran for over 12 years, with Eisner himself at the helm for many of these stories. This volume contains stories from 1940, the first year of THE SPIRIT, with Eisner handling most of the chores - and occasionally assisted by other comics greats such as Jack Cole and Bob Powell. NOTE: There are other Spirit collections, including a very attractive 26++ volume set from another company. Honestly, theirs is more complete - HOWEVER, they strip the color out of the images (which damages the detail of the pen/ink illustrations) and then "faithfully recolor." In other words, they have been altered - our collection, while not as complete, is much more authentic.
