Owner's Description
Whiz Comics #142 is referenced in Geoffrey Wagner’s “Parade of Pleasure” (POP) on page 89.
Wagner observed that superhero comics use primitive vocabulary and often depicted scientists as hapless fools in constant need of rescue. He uses an example from Whiz Comics #142 to illustrate his point “As a character in Whiz Comics no 142 puts it as he knocks three others flying (‘SMACK… UGGH… POW!’), ‘Your friends, Mike, have a limited vocabulary.”
The panel that Wagner references comes from the story “Lance O’Casey and the Contraband Cargo” contained in Whiz Comics #142.
