Notes[]
- Lucky Coyne was created by the Harry “A” Chesler studio and packaged to several different companies including Centaur, Chesler, MLJ, Rucker, St.John, and Bell Features Syndicate. Because of this, details concerning the character were obviously inconsistent from company to company.
- The story from Dynamic Comics #1 was reprinted by St. John in Strange Terrors #1, Crime Reporter #2, and Authentic Police Cases #8. Lucky Coyne was re-named and re-colored in each reprint as Kensington Slade, Rocky Stone, and Jinx Jordan respectively.
