16. Superboy #75
Although this picture was supposed to innocent and funny, todays audience will most like cringe at this picture. While spanking and corporal punishment is a hot button issue today, back in the 30s and 40s it was a part of most American childhoods. What was then considered a normal punishment for a young child is now seen as child abuse, which makes this particular cover Superboy all the more unfortunate. This cover is only made worse by the fact that, thanks to the porn industry, spanking has also become sexualized as a fetish. Seriously though, why would you spank Superboy? Its not like hes going to feel it
