Was the name a pun on "lucky day?" Whatever the original idea, Lucky Dale (possibly a creation of Matt Baker) was a reasonably intrepid girl detective, often charging into messes with no partner or backup. She appeared about a half dozen times as a backup strip to Avon's 1947 THE SAINT, which itself sported original material for six issues before finishing up with reprints of old SAINT comic-strip sequences. (Curiously, the magazine also reprinted one isolated sequence from MISS FURY.) Lucky used a handgun just once, and what looked like "slap karate" in one issue. If it was meant to be karate, Lucky's main distinction was that of showing off the worst karate chops of all time.
