What are "The Seven Spankings?" They are the first group of comic-book spankings that were actively being sought by us spankos way back in the late 70's (pardon me a moment while I get my old disco suit out of mothballs and don it for the occasion). Since this was before the internet, I don't know how many of us there were. We didn't have a club or anything, and if we communicated at all it was by snail mail.

Remember, these were not the first seven spankings ever to appear in comics, they were simply the only ones we knew about at the time. Strangely, I never heard the Batman / Marcia Monroe spanking mentioned, nor had I seen it before DC reprinted it in Super-Team Family (which was in itself odd, as Batman wasn't exactly teaming-up with Eclipso as much as fighting him - but that's DC for you). Spiritworks has done a superb job in tracking five of these down and retouching them, while I have had the remaining two for some time.

We searched every comics catalog, we went to conventions, we haunted comic-book stores, we struggled to raise the necessary $17.00 to purchase a promising item by mail - and in the end, we had precious little to show for it. But we were young and eager, and into spanking and comics, and by God how it all seemed to matter back then! Good times - except for the economy... and the fact we were broke, and couldn't have afforded to buy the spanking issues even if we found them... and the Carter Administration... did I mention disco? Oh, all right - they were crappy times! - but how eagerly we tried to find these seven spanking comics:
