Character(s): Whiz Wilson and his Futuroscope
Publication: Sure-Fire Comics No. 3
Publication Date: September 1940
Publisher: Ace Magazines
 I know next to nothing about Whiz Wilson. This is the only story featuring the
character that I have ever read, but I find it to be a hoot!
I normally pass over this type
of feature, but the distinctive art (simplistic, yet polished) pulled me in and I
ended up enjoying the incredibly strange story.
As you will read, Whiz Wilson is
a youthful scientific genius who has invented a device, known as the Futuroscope, which
enables him to travel to any time and any place. In this story, he joins with the President of
a weird planet to defeat an evil dictator named Black Tom.
Whiz Wilson appeared in Sure-Fire Comics, which later
became Lightning Comics with the fourth issue. He appeared in the first ten issues. I am unaware of any additional
appearances.
