58 aliens cultures that have tried to invade Earth at various times face palm themselves. "Trade! Why didn't we think of that?!?"Of course, negotiating a deal like that with invading aliens is a teensy bit easier...
When your best pal is a giant monkey who is making like Godzilla on the Marsian landscape, while you use a stolen Marsian ray-gun to zap their ships. Now that's what I call trade negotiations!!And no, that's not a typo. They used they word "Marsian" throughout the entire story. It's probably one of those Qadhafi/Khadaffi things where the Marsian language doesn't transliterate precisely into English...
And no, there's no scene in the comic where someone is really upset at the alien invasion and screams "Marsian! Marsian!! Marsian!!!" Which would have been pretty cool, albeit a bit unlikely in 1964...
Donald Trump's way of dealing with Marsians is from Konga #18 (1964).

"Kong Vs. The Martians!"?!?!?!? That is *SO* what I wanna see next!
Like, the reason why Kong was so revered before the events of the first film is that he successfully fought off the African contingent of Martian Invaders from the H.G.Wells classic 'War Of The Worlds' and managed to be one of the few (if not only) sovereign states during the Martian Reign, which is why the Natives held him in such high regard, not out of fear...but out of *RESPECT*!!!!
"King Kong, King Kong, the White Man done you wrong! And so we sing this song to you! Mighty Kong, King...Kong!!!! Hoonga, hoonga, hoonga, KONG! Get a load of mighty Kong! A million Natives can't be wrong! Hoonga, hoonga, hoonga, KONG!!!"
Are you *listening*, Hollywood??!?!?!
