Indexer Notes
The "President" is not named but looks like U.S. President Harry S. Truman. He says "millions for defense but not one cent for tribute," which was a quote by U.S. Senator Robert Goodloe Harper in reference to the 1797-8 "XYZ Affair."
Malik and Sabio had previously appeared in "Atom World of Selura" in The Bouncer (1944 series) #[10] 1944. However, Malik looks completely different here and Sabio in the earlier story was a little person, while in this story he's a giant and the little person is called Yehudi.
