You wouldn't believe how many of these I have.
Unnamed Planetoid-Dwellers:
Blast Bennett and his pal Red run into these guys on a planetoid somewhere between Venus and Mercury and exclusively refer to them as "savages" even though they fly around in their own spaceship. Get off their planetoid, weirdos. (Weird Comics 003, 1940)
the Brainmen:
The Brainmen of the planet Larz are a bunch of large-headed jerks who have conquered... Earth? some time around the Year 5000, when Whiz Wilson shows up using his Futuroscope. My uncertainty above is due to the fact that the focus of the issue is very much on the fact that Americans have been enslaved, which is probably not meant to be a deeply ironic commentary on the long history of forced labour in the Land of the Free but they can't stop me from thinking it.
Whiz manages to acquire and distribute the "N-Gas" antidote to the pacification gas used to render the Americans compliant, but even a peasants' revolt is not enough to overthrow the might of the Brainmen, and he is forced to bring Brainman King Gar back to 1940 to use the threat of being beaten to death by a crowd of angry New Yorkers to ultimately win the day. (Sure-Fire Comics 003, 1940)
Brutes:
Lumpy, oafish humanoid encountered by Jan and Wanda when they are blasted into another dimension by Dr Doom. Has no buttcrack. (Science Comics 008, 1940)
Bugmen:
The Bugmen are a belligerent species of insect-centaurs who occupy the Jovian jungles and regularly vex Auro, Lord of Jupiter until he bests their leaders, Ogre and Agh. I enjoy their huge tusks and also wonder just how much they get in the way. (Planet Comics 006, 1940)
