Superboy's girl friend Lana Lang was a bit of a pest, always trying to prove he was secretly Clark Kent. In this scene from Superboy #93 (December 1961), Lana tells her father about her latest plan to uncover Superboy's secret identity. Professor Lang points out that were she successful, innocent people could be hurt. Lana responds: Professor Lang turns Lana over his knee To the great frustration of readers (at least those like us), Professor Lang grants Lana a last minute reprieve, on the grounds that "I can't spank you. You're too old for that." Au contraire, mon pere! Bad girls are never, never too old for a spanking! As far as we know, Lana never got spanked in later issues - so a priceless opportunity was squandered here. (Artwork thought to be by George Papp). © TimeWarner
