Character History
Golden Arrow was Roger Parsons who, as a young boy, went on a cross-country balloon trip with his parents when they were both killed by their greedy rival Brand Braddock. He was found and raised by "Nugget Ned" and became the superhero Golden Archer when he grew up. He would coat his arrows in gold leaf and rode a horse named White Wind.
The character lasted from Whiz Comics #2, which was the book's first issue, until Whiz Comics #154, which was its second-to-last. He also appeared in his own series which lasted six issues.
