8. Adventure Comics #415
This cover pretty much sums up everything wrong with the attitude comics can take with women, as Adventure Comics #415 is one of the most sexist covers in comic book history. First, there is the obvious issue of Supergirl being dragged by the hair, unconscious. If that doesnt scream of barbaric sexism indicative of prehistoric cavemen, then nothing does. Second, things are only made worse, as Supergirl is apparently being hauled to a non-consensual marriage ceremony. Supergirl has no agency and is displayed as nothing more than a prop in this image The crazy thing is that Adventure Comics #415 was released in 1972; how were there not feminists rioting in the streets?!
