Well, it took ten months, but the great
Silver-Age Supergirl Spanking Search is now concluded, and as everyone expected, we can now state definitively that there is no Superman/Supergirl spanking scene
. I still feel it was important to establish this fact beyond any doubt so that the rumors that there were such a scene (remarked upon in
Butch's post and my reply above) could be finally put to rest. All the details as well as some missed opportunities and a fake I did of Superman whacking his lovely cousin's behind may be found
here, so I won't say too much more except to summarize the situation briefly for the benefit of those who are not all that familiar with the Silver-Age Supergirl.
Supergirl was introduced into
Action Comics in 1959, where she remained the back-up feature for ten years. Any spanking would likely have taken place during her early years in this book because she was clearly under Superman's quasi-parental authority.
She also guest-starred in a large number of other titles which greatly added to the difficulty of the search. In June of 1969 she took over as the lead feature in
Adventure Comics with issue #381, apparently to determine if she could support her own book, displacing the
Legion of Super-Heroes who then moved over into the slot she had vacated in
Action. She stayed in
Adventure through #424, at which point she was rewarded with her own book, which lasted all of ten issues.
Technically, all ten of these and most of her run in
Adventure fall into the
Bronze Age, but I extended my search to cover them as well (I already had most of the issues in my personal collection so it was no big deal). I did discover
four spankings that were previously unknown, but all of them were terrible: an alien
father/son scene in
Adventure #410, another
Lois Lane/Super-Tot (attempted) scene in
Lois Lane #39;
Bizarro Lois/Bizarro Jr. (attempted) in
Superman #150; and the all-male
Superman Revenge Squad spanking the
Jr. Squad OTK with electric rods in
Jimmy Olsen #70 - yechh!
To console myself at not finding
The Holy Grail, I scripted a brief scene in which Supergirl gets paddled by the leader of the Superman Emergency Squad (only through the first swat, alas) and put together a fake spanking panel. Follow the link above to get to these.
