Deadpool leaves a handprint where we may hope it will do Harley Quinn some good on this mock cover of Harley Quinn (Vol. 2) #1. Artist unknown. Characters are © Marvel Characters Inc. and DC Comics Inc. respectively. Posted by the Web-Ed on 08/02/2019.
In the next two entries of our current Harley Quinn mini-series we have a Marvel/DC crossover as the Marvel hero Deadpool spanks Harley on a mock cover of her own comic book. (There seems to be a whole cottage industry of mock-Harley covers, which made the attempt to track this one down even harder since our image match software picked up the title lettering and mis-identified a number of non-matches). Therefore the artist is unknown, his signature being illegible to us, and we're not even sure where we found this one.
Deadpool made his first appearance in The New Mutants #98 (February 1991), making him a little "older" than Harley, who showed up in Batman: The Animated Series about a year later. He's a fairly natural spanker in that he seems to possess an air of authority, and Harley's submissiveness has been discussed many times before. The OTK position is o.k. but Harley's shoulders are up rather high and Deadpool seems to be pulling on her hair, strangely dyed from blonde and unadorned by her usual headgear.
This is the first time we've seen Deadpool in CSR, although his strange female counterpart Lady Deadpool was spanked by the Taskmaster a few years ago.

Since the subject of Harley Quinn covers came up, here's the closest thing we could find to an actual spanking cover: issue #4 of her first series, in which she's apparently recruiting some henchmen. We imagine this cover was inspired by the choreography from old musicals, in which the lead female would leap and then be caught by a group of male dancers. It almost does look like Harley is being taken over the knee of the fourth man from the left. Interesting question: what do you do if you're a super-villainess who wants to be spanked, but no male super-hero has caught up to you yet? If you ask one of your henchmen to spank you, you risk losing control of the gang (and having to order the gang around probably increases the intensity of the need to give up that control by being spanked, which might explain why all these super-villainesses want to be taken OTK).
