Super Science Isn't White Magic

Vernon Miller headed up Maple Leaf Publishing which was the first comics publisher in Canada which opened its doors during the Golden Age, the majority of which were called Canadian Whites because they were mostly all done in black and white to save money. One of Maple Leaf's titles started out being called Name-It Comics which they allowed the readers to vote on the ongoing name for that eventually became Rocket Comics. One of the regular features in this anthology was by Spike Brown titled Cosmo And His White Magic about a rich scientist named Cosmo Grant that used his parents' old creations to fight evil as a freelance defender alongside his partner Captain Tom Hadden with the nickname of Hoot, so Cosmo and Hoot where the Dynamic Duo of their time. Similar to Batman, most of Cosmo's arsenal of freedom were given his own personal branding often referred to something with moniker of "Cosmo-" at the beginning of it. One of Cosmo's cases in Issue 9 had him thwarting the plans of the Nazis to build the first chunnel underneath the English Channel which Hitler's generals claim would take just a few days even though it took six years to complete in the 80s. British intelligence relays this to Cosmo who revs up his trusty aircraft called The Bullet while Hoot is cornered by the Nazi agent Herr Schnozzel. Cosmo comes to the rescue donning his dorky-looking power helmet which allows him to fly and swoops his sidekick away in The Bullet. They use their patented Cosmitelescoptic Detector to find the Nazis near the coast of France and then use their Cosmokordite explosives to seal the Nazis inside the tunnel, plus use their special power helmets to deflect the enemy bullets. Cosmo's other gadgets like the Cosmoastecto and the Cosmovibracoil manage to dispatch the other Nazi forces that according to the narration was thousands of German troops, although Cosmo looks at it and says, "but that's war". After World War II, Cosmo and Hoot went on to explore the sunken realm of Atlantis becoming a super-explorer instead of a superhero. For some reason, the title implied that Cosmo used white magic in his daring adventures, although he technically used super-science, to which Arthur C. Clarke would've had a full-blown weenie roast over.
