For example, she did not allow her to read the Hollis Mason ( Nite-Owl I) autobiography Under the Hood (which included mention of The Comedian's sexual assault on Sally, something Laurie knew nothing of). Driven by the memories of her own experience, Sally tries to keep Laurie from knowing some of the harsher realities of the crime fighting life. At the start of the story she is shown to have a strained relationship with her mother. She is vocal in her feminist and humanitarian concerns, and is quite a conditioned fighter.
Laurie Juspeczyk is a liberal-thinking, modern woman. Growing up, the brunette Laurie knew Laurence Schexnayder was not her real father, and she always believed, incorrectly, that her real father was Hooded Justice. Sally pushed her daughter into the "family business of crimefighting." Laurel Jane "Laurie" Juspeczyk never held much interest in becoming her mother's successor, but went along with Sally's wishes anyway.

While in an asylum, Reggie Long was taught some of Sally's moves by fellow inmate Mothman where they both heard of her death. In the pages of Doomsday Clock, it was revealed that Ozymandias spoke at her funeral. While not explicitly stated, it is implied that Sally's second sexual encounter with The Comedian was consensual, and that, despite his earlier attack on her, she did have feelings for him. It was known to both parents that Laurie was not Laurence's child, but The Comedian's, from a sexual encounter years after the assault, and this caused conflict in the family, leading the couple to divorce in 1956. In 1949, she gave birth to daughter Lauriel Jane Juspeczyk, commonly known as Laurie. In 1947, Sally retired from crime-fighting and married her agent, Laurence Schexnayder, while keeping in touch with Hollis Mason (The Nite Owl) and Nelson Gardner ( Captain Metropolis). Ursula Zandt, who had often pestered her about her Polish heritage, but later expressed regret that she was expelled from the group simply because she was a lesbian, especially since there were men on the team who were gay (though she did not identify them). In an interview, she admitted that she didn't really like The Silhouette, a.k.a. More celebrity than vigilante, Silk Spectre provided a cover for Hooded Justice's homosexuality by being his glamorous girlfriend. Her agent, Laurence Schexnayder, persuaded her not to press charges against the Comedian for fear of damaging the group's image. The event would have a profound impact on Sally's life. He was thwarted in his attempt by fellow Minuteman Hooded Justice, who gave him a vicious beating. On October 2, 1940, after a meeting of the Minutemen, Edward Blake, alias The Comedian tried to rape her. She was soon invited by Captain Metropolis to join The Minutemen, a group of costumed heroes. She was an action heroine version of a pin-up girl and, even in her old age, she was proud of her sex symbol status, apparently enjoying male attention, as indicated by her reaction to lurid fan letters and her enjoyment of a Tijuana bible based on her (much to her daughter's disapproval). She became a sex symbol by whom criminals didn't mind being caught (or so went her press). She assumed the identity of Silk Spectre sometime around 1938 at age 18, in order to advance her modeling career. The first Silk Spectre was a frizzy-haired, redheaded former waitress and burlesque dancer Sally Jupiter (her real last name was Juspeczyk, which she changed to hide her Polish ancestry).

However, Moore did not find Nightshade particularly interesting and was not even very familiar with the character. In the early stages of the series' development, the characters were Charlton Comics superheroes and the female superhero was supposed to be Nightshade. Created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, the original Silk Spectre, Sally " Jupiter" Juspeczyk, was a member of the crimefighting team the Minutemen, while the second, Sally's daughter Laurel " Laurie" Jane Juspeczyk, became a member of the vigilante team Crimebusters, also known as the titular Watchmen.
