Not sure I ever saw a female character at Harvey Comics (at least since the Black Cat) deal out as much "incorporeal punishment" as Poil does in this story from SPOOKY 127.

PERFECT PULCHRITUDE
Fiction House specialized in wild adventure stories, usually with lots of good girl art. But they weren't good at horror stories to judge from the eleven issues of GHOST COMICS. I could only stand to do a quick scan, but this cool cover by Maurice Whitman was the only thing I liked.

GOLD AND SILVER SADISM #6
Attack 13 shows another "innocent transgression" on the part of Yasuda as he accidentally burrows his way under Ginka's skirts. The resultant pounding takes place off panel.

PERFECT PULCHRITUDE
Nearly no one knows the name of artist Barry Blair today, but he was all over the place during the eighties black-and-white comics boom, and this cover to BODY COUNT-- a spoof of monster/slasher films-- successfully gives the POV characters a look of overdone drama, purely for comic effect.
I've already done one Catwoman entry but I can't pass up the comic that not only crossed her over with fellow Golden Age icon Lois Lane, but also brought the villainess back to the DC mainstream after an absence of many years.
