Lady Luck
Born in the pages of Will Eisner's legendary The Spirit in 1940, Lady Luck is one of the Golden Age's most enduring treasures — a character with genuine staying power, racking up 146 catalog appearances across an astonishing 85-year span that stretches all the way to 2025. She debuted in that landmark syndicated newspaper comics section alongside some of the era's most iconic figures, including The Spirit himself (Denny Colt) and Ebony White, and her five key-issue appearances signal she's long been on serious collectors' radar. Whether you encounter her in classic The Spirit pages or through Gwandanaland Comics reprints and Fem Fantastique, Lady Luck stands as a remarkable testament to how a Golden Age creation can keep finding new readers — and new admirers — decade after decade.

- S. R. Powell has written more of Lady Luck's comics than any other writer in our catalog — 33 issues.
