I'm going to go with slaps! It's been memed 984657278 times. It has to be open hand, no punching. Is the slap going to be across the face? On the wrist? Elsewhere? I'm leaving that up to you. Please post the best slap ever captured on a comic cover. The rules: -Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest. -Cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume published before May 2011. -Please include also the title of the comic and the issue number in case some posters cannot see your image. -Covers must be posted before voting begins. -Voting takes place on Tuesday, May 11, 2021, beginning at 12:01am PST and ending at 11:59am PST. -Vote by posting the name of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most. Try to put your vote in bold. -The winner of the contest is the entrant with the most votes after the voting period ends. -The winner chooses the theme for the next week's contest. -If you don't think the cover fits the theme, don't vote for it; please don't post disparaging remarks about it. -If a cover is more recent than the classic time frame, kindly point it out to the poster, who then can choose an alternate before voting begins. I think there's going to be some good ones here. My cover is My Story #5 from May 1949.

Changed my mind. Since this topic is bound to be full of covers that make people uncomfortable in one way or another, I'm going to post my original choice. I balked at this initially, but we must remember that topics and images which were a product of their time must be viewed in a historical reference context, and not be retroactively judged by modern standards. Or as my father used to say, "we must remember both the good and bad of history, so that we don't make the same mistakes twice."
However, I do not endorse the message of this cover in any way... If I were a 10-yr. old boy in 1943, I might feel differently.

Here's a cover that's absolutely egregious in every possible way. I've shown this on my YouTube channel before, but honestly, no idea what Charlton was smoking.

I can't find info on who the artist is. Might be inked by Giordano.
Looks like Infantino pencils.
