The Farm Conquerors

With the Space Race at full steam in 1964, Charlton made quite a few stories of people from the stars stopping by our little planet for its Mysteries Of The Unexplored Worlds anthology. Joe Gill wrote the science fiction saga titled The Earth Conquerors for Issue 24 where one particular flying saucer heads for a farm in the Dakotas piloted by aliens wearing spacesuits. They get out of their ship to explore where they run across a young hayseed with a slingshot that busts through their fishbowl helmets, killing one of them even with their strange power to fly like Superman. The tall visitors capture the boy after stunning his dog when he is interrogated by them. He claims his papa could bust into their saucer to rescue him, and the boy pulls a Bugs Bunny by narrating what his dad could do while making his own escape by kicking an alien in the shin and trashing their advanced technology with a common stick. The dog comes to and attacks a chasing alien as the boy runs out of their ship. The boy fortunately finds the one dead alien's raygun on the ground as he starts shooting at the saucer which heads back up to the stars. The spacemen make a call back home reporting that the creatures of Earth are unconquerable with their bizarre ability to kick shins. Thank heavens that young whippersnapper was wearing a decent pair of shoes, otherwise we'd all have been taken over by now.
