In "Burying the Stick," a 1947 Four Color comic, young Lulu spins a tale of her past to Alvin, recalling a time when she worked for a shoemaker and found a magic lamp from an old man after mending his shoes. The lamp’s genie can grant any wish—except for one, leaving the promise of a secret, unspoken limit hanging in the air. Written and drawn by John Stanley, with additional art by Irving Tripp, and featuring cover art by Stanley and Tripp, this early story blends folkloric charm with a quiet mystery, all rendered in the distinctive style of the era.
