A LOOK AT COR!! STRIPS: LUCKY CHARMER


Lucky Charmer was about a girl by the name of Lucy, better known to her friends and family as Lucky. She was a strong believer in horoscopes, lucky numbers, charms and all sorts of superstitions and they usually did her good. Lucky had a horse-shoe knitted on her jersey and her bed cover was decorated in a horseshoe pattern. Lucy’s parents never thought much of her silly superstitions but Lucy usually was the winner in the end.

The feature was launched in the New Year issue of 1972 dated January 1st (No. 83) and had a short run of 30 episodes until the issue dated 22nd July, 1972 (No. 112). The main artist was the same who illustrated Football Madd and the Chumpions. Unconfirmed information says it was Peter Davidson. Other artists stepped in on several occasions.
