Comic books (Comics)/A nagging question for 40 years now

Question
In the early 60's when I was a kid I remember reading some comics whose storyline involved earth being in a secret alliance with some kind of alien federation. (secret from earth's people)The main character would join the aliens in resolving various threats to earth. One panel in an issue involved aliens using "hot snow" (radioactive) as a weapon. I've wondered for so long what comic that was. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thank you!

Answer

Hi Tim

I do not recognize this story from what you describe.  Do you remember anything more about the human character or characters?  Were they superheroes or regular people?  If a superhero, do you remember anything about the costume or other characteristics?  Was this a standard 10 cent or 12 cent U.S. color comic?  Do you have any idea what company it was published by?  Did the aliens look human or did they have some different appearance?
