Golden Arrow is currently a licensed property of DC Comics, but to date he has yet to appear in an actual DC Comics comic book.
Whiz Comics was published by Fawcett Publications. The premiere issue of the series actually begins with issue #2. The character of Captain Marvel was originally to be named Captain Thunder for the first issue of Thrill Comics. Thrill Comics would have taken the #1 slot for this series, but it was never published beyond a single ashcan preview edition. |
