Wow those are not books you see everyday; there must be a story there and I'm sure you have access to a lot more!  Definitely one of the pros of setting-up at the shows, odd person that comes up to you.

Basically he’s in his 70’s and has been collecting for quite a while. Bought a lot of good stuff in the early 2000’s 

The usual plan most of us have, sell when you’re retired. Turns out he has no interest in selling online or shows so wants to go the easier route. Selling is like work, and he’s done working! I’m happy to help him out

Flip that USA Comics on the Whizzer hype.

I wasn't serious by the way, just noting that the book was quite the timely find. No pun intended there either. But really, finding that book in the wild among such a disparate lot of comics on the same weekend the character's namesake is used in a Netflix series that just released is absurd.

Swastika covers will never go out of collecting favor

I watched the first epi of Jessica Jones and never connected the 2 until I read your post. The USA is the only book I sold out of the lot, it will help me pay for round 2.

Socko!

Local antique shop had a box for $5 each, mostly the usual low grade Dell's, but found a few, Lines on the right side of the covers are from my scanner.

I do believe his backpack on the show was yellow and blue.  I thought it was an odd selection at the time.  I also had to explain the name to my wife, who was thoroughly confused between the Flash, Quicksilver, and the Whizzer.

He also had a yellow shirt.

Yellow does seem an appropriate color for a character called The Whizzer.

Yes, it's a Dave Stevens. You can tell from the writing on the wall in the lower left corner which says "Dave Stevens 1986". Sweet book!
