The Originals, 2011

In Feb, 1945, an object (or objects) appeared in the night sky above Los Angeles. The US anti-aircraft artillery opened fire, and over 1000 shells were fired at this object(s), but to no avail, nothing was brought down. What this object was remained a mystery…until now! Moonstone has unearthed the classified government documents that show the real truth! Documents that reveal just what occurred over LA in 1945 and chronicles the exploits of the heroes that teamed up to eliminate this threat! (Moonstone Books)

Though this has the initial appearance of a trade paperback it is really an illustrated short story.

Saucy Romantic Adventures, May, 1936

The Domino Lady made her first appearance in Saucy Romantic adventures, May, 1936. Her stories were written under the pen name of “Lars Anderson” but the author’s real identity is unknown.

The Domino Lady’s real identity is Ellen Patrick, a Berkeley educated socialite and daughter to District Attorney Owen Patrick. When her father was murdered she put on a mask to avenge him. Armed with a .45, a syringe of knockout serum, and her beauty, she would steel from her adversaries and donate the profits to charity (after taking her cut). Like most pulp characters at that time, she would leave a calling card that says “Compliments of the Domino Lady”.
