Notes

- Prior to the publication of Whiz Comics #2, actually the first issue of the series, Fawcett Publications released to a small number of newsstands black-and-white "ashcan" comics titled Flash Comics and Thrill Comics. The two ashcan comics each had similar covers and identical interior contents. The interior story featured the debut of a character called Captain Thunder. This story later appeared in Whiz Comics #2, in color and with the lead character renamed Captain Marvel.
- Also features a three-page foreword by Richard A. Lupoff and brief biographies of C.C. Beck, Pete Costanza and Bill Parker researched and written by Rich Morrissey.
