Disclose Notes: Adapted from the 1961 movie "The Wonders of Aladdin."
Script was originally credited to Paul S. Newman. because his records show that he did sell an Aladdin script to some publisher around this time. But the printed comic is not in Newman's straightforward style, and does match the flamboyant scripts Lionel Ziprin is writing for Kona (Dell, 1962 Series) at this time.
