* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: DependingOnTheArtist, Domino Lady's signature white gown can be this. The original pulp stories specify the gown is backless, and almost all artists have taken this to mean strapless as well. Some artists have drawn the neckline so low it would be impossible for her to move, let alone run or fight, without popping out.

The Domino Lady was a masked pulp heroine who first appeared in the May 1936 issue of ''Saucy Romantic Adventures''. All of her stories were published under the house name "Lars Anderson" owned by the publisher, Fiction Magazines. The author's real identity is unknown, although it has been suggested it was a well-known writer. New short stories and a comic book featuring The Domino Lady are currently being published by Moonstone Books.
The Domino Lady is really University of California, Berkeley-educated socialite Ellen Patrick. When her father, District Attorney Owen Patrick, is murdered she puts on a domino mask and a backless white dress to avenge him. She would arm herself with a .45 pistol and a syringe full of knockout serum, but often her best weapon was her beauty, which often distracted and entranced opponents, or at the very least led them to underestimate her, allowing her to outwit them. Such wiles rarely worked upon her female adversaries, however.
She steals from her targets, donating most of the profits to charity after deducting her cut, and leaves a calling card with the words "Compliments of the Domino Lady".
!!The Domino Lady stories and comics contain examples of:
* CallingCard: The Domino Lady leaves behind a literal one: a black card with white writing reading "Compliments of the Domino lady".
* CombatStilettos: Domino Lady could be the poster girl for this trope.
* DeathByOriginStory: It is the murder of her father, crusading D.A. owen patrick, that inspires Ellen to take up the identity of Domino Lady.
* JustLikeRobinHood: Ellen steals ill-gotten loot from her targets, deducts enough to cover her lifestyle, and donates the rest to charity.
* ShowSomeLeg: Ellen often used her stunning beauty to distract her foes.
