** The panel the site has as the UrExample of Superdickery, which is from ''Action Comics #1'' and has Superman leave a woman tied up under a tree?[[spoiler: She's a murderess who Supes is taking to justice, and he's leaving her while he convinces the governor to call off the execution of the innocent woman convicted for the crime. That, and Superman was a bit more morally ambiguous back in the Golden Age.]]

The website is defunct and can only be accessed through archives; its last update on April 2019.

Superdickery.com is a website dedicated to tracking down and documenting as many of these weird and wonderful comics as possible, often presenting them completely out of context, solely for the purposes of humor.

These comics are mostly from UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks (although there are quite a few from more recent eras) and mainly from Creator/DCComics, due to the many, ''many'' instances of Franchise/{{Superman}} acting like a complete dick.

These are split into several categories:

The website is currently inactive, with it last being updated April 2019. Not only that, it's defunct and no longer accessible without an archive.

Has nothing to do with ''Literature/TheSuperDictionary'', although it did popularize the AndThatsTerrible meme.

Not to be confused with the trope {{Superdickery}}, which this website gave its name.
