What year was this spanking from Aaron ? Buz Sawyer spanks his future wife Christy circa 1947, and of course Will Eisner's the Spirit gave a classic spanking in the early 1940's. Just wondering if the Phantom pre-dates both (not that it matters ! A good spanking is Eternal !).
Lysdexicus: I have to confess, I stumbled on this one just surfing the web, so I haven't got it's provenance. Superman also administers several Golden Age spankings.
Before there was Superman or Batman or Spider-Man, there was The Phantom. Playwright and cartoonist Lee Falk introduced The Phantom to the world in 1936.
Since then, The Phantom has run continuously in newspapers around the world, gaining a following in Europe, Asia, South America, Australia and New Zealand. He has spawned films adaptations, paperback novels, an animated television show and several comic book series.
I have been drawn to the Phantom by his unique backstory-one of the best in sequential media. This blog will let me share with others the exciting world of "The Ghost Who Walks, Who Cannot Die...The Phantom!!"
