Four Color #1255

Dell's Movie Classic adaptation of The Wonders of Aladdin captures the film's swirling adventure in vivid painted style, with a turbaned Aladdin leaping forward and brandishing a smoking magic lamp above the chaos of a battle-filled city street. Behind him, a young woman and a dark-haired hero are caught up in the mayhem, while domed minarets rise in the background — all brought to life with real energy by artist Luis Dominguez. The cover's promise of "marvels of magic, mysterious forces everywhere — secret and invisible!" makes this 1962 Dell offering a genuinely appealing window into the fantastical world of the film.
