The Erotic Art of Bob Oksner -- Part II

Look at that face. Does that look like a man you could trust? Sure it does, he looks like a real pussycat doesn't he? But it was with pussycats that comic book artist Bob Oksner slipped another one past his editor and the monolithic industry sensor, the Comics Code Authority.

The story I heard was that Oksner tried repeatedly for years to sneak a cover like this past his editors. Every time he tried it, it was rejected. I don't think even he knew why this one finally was allowed, but it was. The cover in question is for Supergirl #3, February 1973.

This was the second of Oksner's two infamous Supergirl covers (see The Erotic Art of Bob Oksner -- Part I for the other). This issue of Supergirl was a tale about rejection, a tale about loneliness. Supergirl, poor, poor Supergirl, she can't be like other girls. She longs to go on dates with boys, but for her it is not to be. So all alone she watches the other girls having fun with the boys, while all she can do is sit there and play with her pussy....cat!

I can't for the life of me remember where I first read of this cover, though it had to have been an interview with Bob Oksner. I have learned though that if you type "Supergirl plays with her pussy" into Google, you will discover a world of super-hero porn you never knew existed (Well, I never knew it existed. You might be a frequent reader!).
