 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Golden Arrow
No less than five of its protagonists — the superheroes Captain Marvel, Ibis the Invincible and Spy Smasher; the seafaring hero Lance O'Casey; and the western hero Golden Arrow — had starred in separate comics within a few years of Whiz's February, 1940 debut.
Tho Golden Arrow appeared to be set in the Old West, it's possible it just looked that way because there simply didn't happen to be any cars or telephones visible in any of the panels.
In Whiz #43 (August, 1943), he had an adventure with Captain Marvel and Spy Smasher, indicating he was contemporary with them — but most of the time, he looked and acted just like a western hero.
