spanking panel from Boots comic book Although superhero comics are the ones most sought after by collectors nowadays, they fell on hard times in the postwar era until their revival in the 60's. During this period, other genres such as Western and Romance became prominent, and some of these comics did feature the occasional spanking. Here is one example from Boots and Her Buddies #7 which many of us were trying to find in the early 1980's (once word got out that a particular comic book had a spanking in it, there was a rush to all the common sources to try to snare it for one's personal collection). At the time, we lost out to another collector, but we don't feel so bad now that we've seen how pedestrian it is. It was billed in the catalog as containing "the most severe spanking scenes in any comic!" Remember that in those pre-internet days, we had to buy these things sight unseen!

This is the first of "The Seven Spankings" - those comic-book spankings that were known to us as far back as the late 1970's. We have not been able to find out who the writer and artist were.

Here we have a third spanking panel from the same comic! That's a lot of spanking in one issue, perhaps making up in quantity what it lacks in quality. The Spirit, who has done such an outstanding job in locating and re-coloring four others of The Seven Spankings, did this one as well.
