-  * Bruce Barlow, brilliant young scientist and so-called "conqueror of the planets," combats menaces to the Earth, taking him to Saturn, the center of the Earth, and Venus. //Note: This series, written in 1940, was set in the then-far-off year of 1980. Although the technology for interplanetary travel shown in this series is still too advanced for 1980, this series is still conceivably possible, although events would have to be much more secretive than depicted.// [Whirlwind Comics #1-3]+  * [[Bruce Barlow]], brilliant young scientist and so-called "conqueror of the planets," combats menaces to the Earth, taking him to Saturn, the center of the Earth, and Venus. //Note: This series, written in 1940, was set in the then-far-off year of 1980.

-  * **[[Golden Man|Golden Lad]]** comes out of suspended animation after 36 years when the Minstrel forgets to pay the Keeper. Fighting alongside Thunderbunny on a **single case**, he is shot by an energy cannon and instantly ages to an old man. He falls unconscious and is taken away to the hospital, but not until he tells Thunderbunny about the Keeper and the other golden age heroes the villain is keeping captive. //Note: Golden Lad is referred to as Golden Kid in this story. Only a few heroes are pictured (none Charlton or Earth-4 characters); they include Bulletman, the Spirit, Miss Fury, and Blackhawk. The actual heroes kept captive by the Keeper are their closest visual Earth-4 counterparts: Torpedo Man (or Dynamo), the Grey Mask, Black Venus, and the Golden Eagle, and other heroes who disappeared unaccountably in the 1940s.// [Charlton Bullseye v2 #10]+  * **[[Golden Man|Golden Lad]]** comes out of suspended animation after 36 years when the Minstrel forgets to pay the Keeper.
